Steve Kerr called on the NBA to change this rule amid claims that the Rockets' Dillon Brooks is going out of his way to hit Steph Curry's injured thumb.

During the Warriors' 131-116 road loss to the Houston Rockets in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series on Wednesday, Rockets forward Dillon Brooks contacted Warriors superstar guard Stephen Curry's right hand following a shot. No foul was called, but it was significant since Curry has been nursing an injured right thumb for much of the season.

Steve Kerr expressed displeasure at Dillon Brooks' strategy to stop Stephen Curry; says NBA needs a rule change.

The Warriors were so out of sorts that there were possessions when Curry and Butler were on the floor together and didn’t touch the ball before a shot was taken. Curry finished with 13 points on 4-for-12 shooting and Butler had eight and was 2-for-10 before Kerr pulled the plug in the third quarter with the Warriors hopelessly behind.
