Bulls’ DeMar DeRozan and Rockets’ Dillon Brooks were ejected last night after an on-court scuffle during Houston’s seventh straight win (127-117).
DeRozan and Brooks got into it after a hard foul from the Bulls star on Jalen Green:
First Green gets a block on DeRozan drive. Then he gets fouled by Brooks on the next play. You can see Brooks push him with his left hand.
The frustration is building but that doesn’t excuse the cheap shot DeRozan took on Green. I don’t like Brooks much but he did the right… pic.twitter.com/NJFPTpvYzK

Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted.
Dre got the star on Hollywood
Demar elbowed Dillion Brooks on the tuck
Dot dissed the Big 2 over the “Everlasting Bass” sample
This might be the most Compton week of the decade

I love Dillon Brooks having Jalen Green’s back there. DeMar took a cheap shot on Jalen and Dillon immediately went to check DeMar’s temperature.

Shout-out to Dillon Brooks immediately getting into DeMar DeRozan’s face after he laid out Jalen Green.
Dillon not about to let that stuff go.

That DeRozan bullshit was EXACTLY why Dillon Brooks was needed on this team. Just an absolute DAWG who will always go to war for his team

Absolutely insane the refs decided to eject Dillon Brooks from this game man.
A tech was in order, but that was not ejection worthy. He was defending his teammate from a dirty play.
