Warriors believe Rockets are targeting Stephen Curry's thumb injury during playoffs: 'I think it's pretty obvious'

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry isn't playing at 100 percent. Curry sustained a thumb injury back in January, and then re-injured that ailment right as the regular season came to a close. He's iced his thumb and received treatment on the injury during the team's playoff run.

The Houston Rockets are well aware of that.

During the Warriors' 131-116 loss in Game 5, the Rockets got called out for targeting Curry's injured thumb every time he took a shot. The Warriors' broadcast team was quick to mention the tactic.

It was the perfect time for the broadcast team to mention the Rockets' strategy.
