Thompson's foul that injured Butler was an early turning point in the Rockets' 109-94 series-tying victory against the Warriors.

Fans on social media immediately accused Thompson— and even Warriors forward Draymond Green —of making a dirty play in the sequence that led to Butler's injury. But that's not how Warriors coach Steve Kerr saw it.

Some have questioned whether Houston's Amen Thompson is a dirty player after Golden State's Jimmy Butler was injured in a scary fall in Game 2 when the Rockets guard took his opponent's legs out from under him on a hard foul.
