With under eight minutes to go in the game and the Rockets leading by double digits, Jalen Green ran into Draymond. When the two fought for space, Jalen delivered an elbow to Draymond's face. The play was initially called a personal foul on Jalen Green, and after review it was upgraded to a flagrant-1 foul.
