After a tough season opener, Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs fought back to claim a thrilling 109-106 victory over the Houston Rockets in their second game. The game was filled with intense moments, but one of the standout scenes came during a heated exchange between Wembanyama and Rockets star Dillon Brooks.
The incident happened midway through the third quarter when the Spurs held a solid 14-point lead. As Wembanyama received a pass and began driving toward the basket, Brooks aggressively tried to wrest the ball from him.
Brooks refused to back down, locking Wembanyama in a physical struggle. Both players crashed to the floor, and what began as a fight for the ball quickly turned into a heated standoff.
The altercation briefly escalated when Brooks appeared to nearly grab Wembanyama in a chokehold. But Spurs teammates quickly intervened to separate the two players before things got further out of hand.
Spurs veteran Chris Paul even appeared to swing his arm at Brooks to force him off his young teammate. Surprisingly, the referees decided not to issue any fouls or penalties, choosing instead to restart play with a jump ball.
