Warriors bench player hit with towel in face by Rockets sub

Benches clear between the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors during the fourth quarter in Game 2 of the first round NBA playoff matchup at Toyota Center on April 23, 2025 in Houston, Texas.

In a game that had already seen one devastating impact, Golden State reserve Pat Spencer took what was perhaps a more comical blow late in the Warriors' Game 2 loss on Wednesday.

Spencer was hit squarely in the face by a towel that Rockets bench player Tari Eason threw at him during an on-court incident in the fourth quarter of the 109-94 loss.
