The Houston Rockets took care of business Wednesday night, defeating the Golden State Warriors, snapping their eight-game win streak in the process. It was a collaborative effort for Houston, as the Rockets finished with six players in double figures, including Kevin Durant, who finished with a team-high 20 points. Alperen Sengun was also impressive, nearly tallying a triple-double with 19 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal.

However, the game didn't come without controversy, as veteran point guard Marcus Smart was ejected for throwing a punch at Golden State center Charles Bassey. Following the contest, Rockets head coach Ime Udoka revealed what led up to the altercation from Smart's perspective, saying, “He (Marcus Smart) said they got wrapped up, and his elbow that he had hurt got bent up, and so he said something to him. Bassey said, ‘What you gonna do?’ He did it.”

Prior to the ejection, Smart had scored six points in 17 minutes on 2-for-2 shooting from 3-point range. The NBA has yet to reveal whether or not the former Defensive Player of the Year Award winner will receive a suspension.
