Tari Eason threw a towel at Pat Spencer during a scuffle late in Game 2 of the Western Conference first-round playoff series between his Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, on Wednesday.
The two teams got into an altercation after Draymond Green began talking with Fred VanVleet in the fourth quarter. The teams gathered around, and Eason was spotted throwing a towel across the way.

Eason received a technical foul for that move. Steph Curry made the technical free throw, though it only made the score 99-81.
Houston won the game 109-94 to even the series 1-1. Despite being on the receiving end of the towel throw, Spencer shot 5/7 and scored 11 points.
Green was asking for problems all game. Warriors fans were on him, thinking he was partially responsible for Jimmy Butler getting hurt. And then he got into it with VanVleet in the fourth quarter.
