While talking to reporters Monday, Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks was asked what his reaction was to Warriors coach Steve Kerr’s claim that his flagrant-2 foul on Gary Payton II in Game 2 “broke the code.”
“No reaction,” he said, per NBA.com’s Mark Medina. “I don’t even know what that means in the playoffs. I did not even understand what he meant by that.”
During Game 2, Payton was going for a wide-open layup before he was hit from behind on the head by Brooks. He came crashing down onto the hardwood and braced himself with his left arm.
