Discussion of Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks’ dirty foul in Game 2, which caused Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II to fracture his elbow, made its way into Saturday’s Game 3 playoffs broadcast too.
In the first quarter, play-by-play man Mike Breen asked his co-announcers, Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy, for their thoughts on the Brooks flagrant foul. Former Dubs coach Mark Jackson used to opportunity to equate what happened to Payton II with what happened between Draymond Green and Memphis big man Brandon Clarke in Game 1.
"I would make the case that in Game 1, Draymond Green's foul meets the same criteria" as the Brooks foul, Jackson said.
