Tensions hit a boiling point in the third quarter of Game 2 between the Warriors and Rockets, when Jalen Green was seen visibly pulling Stephen Curry by the hips—right in front of a referee. Despite the clear contact, no foul was called, sparking outrage from fans and putting Curry at unnecessary risk. The incident comes just hours after Jimmy Butler was ruled out with a pelvic contusion, and Dubs fans are growing increasingly frustrated with the officiating.
Many believe the refs are simply letting too much slide, especially when it comes to protecting the league’s superstars. Curry, who relies heavily on speed, agility, and sharp changes of direction, could suffer serious consequences from uncalled contact like this. With the Rockets leading 104-89, they’ve maintained control of the game, but concerns over player safety and fairness on the court are now dominating the conversation far more than the scoreboard.
