Dillon Brooks has no love lost for Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and the Golden State Warriors in his second playoff series against them. Now, with the Houston Rockets, Brooks entered into a heated dust-up with Curry, Green and other Warriors players during Monday's Game 2 of their first-round series.

The incident occurred in the second quarter when Brooks knocked down Curry on the floor while guarding him in a ball screen, including Green and Amen Thompson. After Curry and Thompson crashed on the floor, the Warriors' superstar taunted Brooks after forcing his second foul.

Brooks retaliated by attempting to snatch the ball from Curry, which triggered the chaos as Green and the Rockets guard got into it. The benches from both teams cleared, too.

Here's the video:

Curry, Green and Brooks were the only three to receive technical fouls amid this melee.

Steph Curry picks up 6th career tech in NBA Playoffs

Steph Curry picked up his sixth NBA playoffs technical foul after Monday's altercation with Dillon Brooks. The Warriors' superstar had one tech apiece in 2013, 2014 and 2019. In 2016, he had two. He's managed his temperament through these knockout games, allowing him to stay locked in on the team's goals.

It has been critical, especially in this gruelling series against the Rockets. Curry has faced the most physical blows from Houston's players throughout the four games, but the two-time MVP remains unfazed. In the first three games, he averaged 29.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 7.0 assists on 52.6% shooting, including 45.2% from 3 and 92.9% from the free-throw line.

In Monday's Game 3, Curry had 10 points at the half on 3 of 6 shots as the Warriors trailed by seven.
