Timberwolves 127, Rockets 114: Dillon Brooks Poked The Bear
Photo by David Berding/Getty Images I’ll give Dillon Brooks credit before I largely don’t for the rest of this recap.
What he does actually works pretty well typically. The constant trash talk, tight defense, and little dirty plays on the margins that can get inside players' heads. It’s why the Houston Rockets signed him to the contract they did, and he spends a large amount of his time relative to the rest of the league guarding star players.
And talking about them.
Classic Dillon Brooks on his confrontation with LeBron James: “I don’t care. He’s old. … I poke bears. I don’t respect someone until he gives me 40.”
And Brooks had plenty more to say. pic.twitter.com/uWLONrubPZ
