Brooks and Trae Young stood face-to-face jawing during the Rockets’ win in Atlanta, then Brooks grabbed the back of Young’s neck and pushed him forward. Each received a technical foul for the incident — but did Brooks deserve more?

Rockets forward Dillon Brooks and Atlanta guard Trae Young were assessed a double technical foul in the fourth quarter of Houston's 100-96 win on Tuesday in Atlanta. It came during a critical stretch as Atlanta had gone on a 15-2 run to cut Houston's lead to three points with under a minute remaining.

With just about 50 seconds left in the game, Brooks knocked Young down on the perimeter. As the action paused due to teammate Dyson Daniels converting an and-1 layup, Young seized the moment to retaliate. He nonchalantly drove his shoulder into Brooks as he walked by.
