The Houston Rockets took home one of the most hard-fought victories in this season. After a series of disappointing losses, they won their first away game of the season. That too against the defending champions Denver Nuggets. While the victory in itself is a major boost for the Rockets fans, they have another special moment to celebrate as Dillon Brooks sought his revenge against Jamal Murray.

Ever since his trade from the Memphis Grizzlies, Brooks has been a success story for the Rockets. 27-year-old forward had been the driving force behind some of the victories against the big franchises like the Nuggets and Lakers. Subsequently, he found a place in the Rockets fans’ hearts and it reflected during the Friday night game.

Fans back Dillon Brooks amid the viral video

The Nuggets stepped into the arena with an aim to seal a comfortable victory, considering the Rockets’ away games record. Little did they know, what the Houston side had in their store to defeat the mighty defending champions. But the fans feel that the Denver side might gave away the game before tip-off.

Ahead of the Friday night game, Jamal Murray went up to Dillon Brooks, who was locked in with his pre-game ritual, the stare. The Nuggets star didn’t just go up to him, but also tried to imitate the stare. The video of the hilarious moment went viral on social media, prompting the fans to troll Villain Dillon in the comments.
