After two games, the physicality of an already intense first-round series between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets is taking a toll. The Warriors finished their Game 2 loss in Houston without their star wing, Jimmy Butler.
When going for a rebound in the first quarter, Rockets young forward Amen Thompson undercut Butler, causing the veteran to fall to the floor hard. After getting up, Butler exited the game and went to the locker room.
