Overview
- Dillon Brooks knocked down Steven Adams with a shoulder check that was reviewed and ruled a common foul, not a flagrant.
- Ime Udoka approached Brooks on the court, then laughed and later said he was just messing with his former player.
- Brooks, traded to Phoenix in the Kevin Durant deal after playing under Udoka in Houston, led the Suns with 29 points in the loss.
- After the game, Udoka briefly engaged a heckler who referenced LeBron James and his Boston suspension before walking to the tunnel.
- Reports noted no fines or sanctions from the incidents, and the teams are scheduled to meet again in December.
