The Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets series continues to intensify, with a notable incident in Game 5 that underscored the escalating tension. Pat Spencer was ejected for headbutting Alperen Sengun late in the game, following a scuffle that included Moses Moody and Trayce Jackson-Davis. Despite Spencer's earlier contributions, which included 11 points and a surge for the Warriors, the Rockets secured a decisive win, shifting the series back to the Bay Area.
