Rockets forward Tari Eason, who has been sidelined with an injury since January, tried to stir up a rivalry with the Warriors by wearing a t-shirt that said “Warriors Come Out to Play” during the game.
However, his team ended up losing by 23 points on their home court.
This comes after Eason previously challenged the Warriors to “come out and play” in a video posted on social media.

The Rockets now trail the Warriors by four games for 10th place in the Western Conference with only six games remaining in the regular season.
Despite Eason’s trolling, the Warriors emerged victorious, effectively ending the Rockets’ season.

When will people ever learn? You don’t taunt Steph or LeBron lol
— Kaleb Earls (@K_Earls32) April 5, 2024
Rockets never learn. Warriors have owned them for a decade.
Dillon Brooks should have told them what happens when you taunt the Warriors.

Since Eason said that, the Rockets are 1-3, the warriors have won 4 straight

Thank you for poking the bear and giving the #Warriors motivation. Steph, Klay, and Draymond will pull out the receipt after they beat them

This clown is and out for the season with a leg injury.
It's easy to pop off when you're 'riding the pines' and don't have to face someone on the Court.— Tempotrainer (@Tempotrainer) March 28, 2024
@warriors have 4 titles in the last 9 years . They are not beefing on who gets in the Dam play-in tournament 😂😂😂. Man Steph/Klay/Dray play for Rings not the play-in tournament 😂😂😂. Man just shows how many levels @HoustonRockets gotta go to even sniff where Dubs are #Levels

Why are y'all so sensitive lol damn. It's great to see the Rockets give the Warriors a run for their money – the Warriors have full control of their destiny so they just need to take it a game at a time and try to run the table
