Back into the corner. Spencer. Another offensive rebound. This time Knox turns, shoots and then it’s Key misses the layup. Goodness. Boy, Dylan Brooks and Spencer mixing it up underneath it. Now Spencer and Shangon. Boy, look out. Jackson Davis shoving Shenon. Officials quickly trying to diffuse the situation. That thing was brewing. It started between Spencer and [Applause] Brooks. Then Spencer started joining with Shenon. Jackson Davis came to Spencer’s defense. And so the officials, no doubt. We’ll go to the replay monitor here. Second straight game, Candace, that we have seen a little tussle between these two teams. Well, it all started on that rebounding play underneath the hoop. the physicality is a defensive foul on Golden State followed by an altercation that didn’t dissolve. The play is under review. All right, Zack Zarva makes the official announcement as they will go to the monitor here. And boy, a night that looked like it was going to be a huge blowout. And this thing continues to get interesting here down the stretch. Right there, Jackson Davis took a fence to what Shenun was trying to say to Spencer right there. Just steps in and shoves Shenon. And the fans just now seeing the replay and react to Jackson Davis’s shove. Well, it’s a shove. And not only that, the arms of Jackson Davis got up a little high right in the neck area of Shenon. And if you’re Shenon, you got to realize, listen, Golden State will proudly take a swap of Jackson Davis. No offense, but Jackson Davis and Shenon, you got to be smart. I understand tempers are flaring, but right now, this is why it’s so important for you to take care of business so you’re not in this position. So, the headbutt of Spencer as well. So, a lot to unpack here for our crew. Really good veteran crew. Zack Zarbashan, right? Nick Booker. So, keep your eye on Spencer and Brooks. You have Brooks the little shoulder lean. Spencer didn’t appreciate it. Tossing Brooks then Shin Goon and Jackson [Applause] Davis. Good right here. Keep your eye on Spencer the head butt right there on Shenon. And I think it’s uh it’s definitely escalated by Jackson Davis. Obviously, the altercation between Spencer and Shenon was as a result of Shenon not liking Spencer’s foul on Dylan Brooks. Candace, give this Golden State second unit all kinds of credit getting a chance in a 30 plus point blowout. This second unit has come in scrappy. Obviously may have lost their cool a little bit here with Spencer in that headbutt. Well, they had an opportunity to cut the game. That’s right. To 11 off that miss layup by Keith. Point blank miss layup which then results in a defensive rebound by Dylan Brooks and all that followed. So this was a 31-point Houston lead. Golden State has outscored the Rockets in the fourth quarter 21-7 as they have cut this thing down to 13 points. The officials now have gone back to the replay monitor. They came away from the table to converse. And now they’ve gone back to look at the video. Constant communication with the replay center. Candace to try to determine what they’re going to do here with our crew chief Zach Zarba. Can you read lips? I’m not very good at that. But I did. He did not know the headbutt. After review, there are offsetting technical fouls on Jackson Davis and Albert Sangon, followed by a technical foul and ejection on Cam Spencer for the illegal headbutt. One shot for the technical and then free throws off the penalty. Oh, he met Pat Spencer, his younger brother Cam, of course, part of the uh national championship team at Connecticut. But Pat Spencer’s night is done. [Applause] Spencer played well. Candace off the bench. Five of seven, 11 points in 13 minutes. And look, he did his job. Obviously doesn’t want to get himself thrown out, but has lit the fire under this Golden State team. Steve Kerr, still no sign of his starters yet. And he’s going
