Fighting for a board, Dillon Brooks and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander almost escalated into a full-out brawl. A crowd started to form rostered by both teams before they laughed it off. The almost-fight highlighted the Oklahoma City Thunder's intense 119-116 loss to the Houston Rockets.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shares his thoughts on the heated moment with Dillon Brooks during the Thunder's intense game against the Rockets.

Alexander told the world last year that his life was consistent across the board. But perhaps even he didn’t know it could get this deep.  On Friday, with his Thunder (15-4) grinding and attempting to stomach more forgettable offense — a bug that’s lasted the better part of a road trip — Gilgeous-Alexander sized up his defender while up one.
