Warriors get Yuletide revenge on Dillon Brooks

Brooks has been public enemy No. 1 for the Warriors since he broke Gary Payton II's elbow in last year's playoffs, which got him an ejection and a one-game suspension. 

After Sunday's incident, Thompson called it "good old-fashioned trash talk."

Brooks was much angrier about Thompson and the officiating afterward.

The officials called five fouls on Brooks, who scored 13 points and also committed five turnovers in a rough game for the dynasty leader. 

Broadcaster Jeff Van Gundy said there were "egregious mistakes," like when the referees allowed Klay Thompson to shoot free throws after teammate James Wiseman was fouled.

In a move unbefitting of a trash talker, Brooks even tried to tattle on Draymond Green for cursing.

It was a chippy game all around, with the Warriors committing six technical fouls, including one from Green on the bench after he wildly celebrated Brooks missing the subsequent freebie. Jordan Poole was ejected with nine minutes to go after his second technical, making some dubious history.

Memphis returns to San Francisco for a rematch exactly a month later on Jan. 25. The Grizzlies have thirty days to build their dynasty to prepare.
