The Golden State Warriors were dealt a serious blow to their postseason hopes after dropping Game 2 against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night while also seeing Jimmy Butler suffer a painful injury.

With under eight minutes to go in the game and the Rockets leading by double digits, Jalen Green ran into Draymond. When the two fought for space, Jalen delivered an elbow to Draymond's face. The play was initially called a personal foul on Jalen Green, and after review it was upgraded to a flagrant-1 foul.

Houston's offense was crowded and chaotic in Game 1, defined by its star guard's ill-advised drives at Draymond Green, the former Defensive Player of the Year. A different version of Houston's leading man emerged Wednesday from the opening possessions. The Rockets' season now is alive as a result.
