Grizzlies' Dillon Brooks earns Flagrant 1 foul for pushing Stephen Curry in Game 6
Dillon Brooks carried the Memphis Grizzlies to a first half lead in Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors on Friday at the Chase Center.
But he pushed it a little too far.
Brooks gave Warriors guard Stephen Curry a push in the back on a second-quarter play during a loose ball. He was charged with a personal foul and later a Flagrant 1 foul after a review.
Tale a look.

Brooks and Klay Thompson both received technical fouls for a spirited conversation after the foul on Curry. That means Brooks would be ejected if he is called for another technical or Flagrant 1 foul.
Brooks has been the Grizzlies' top scorer in Game 6, with 18 first-half points including 5 3-pointers. He had struggled throughout the series, totaling just 32 points in the first four games. That includes being ejected for a hard Flagrant 2 foul on Gary Payton II early in Game 2 and a one-game suspension that forced him out of the lineup in Game 3.
