Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler and Houston Rockets veteran Dillon Brooks are two of the fiercest competitors in the NBA, and that shows.

During the second quarter between the Warriors and Rockets in Game 4 on Monday evening, Butler and Brooks exchanged words while Houston's Tari Eason was at the free-throw line. While it is not entirely clear what exactly was said, it was obvious that the the conversation was fairly intense.

You can watch how it unfolded below and see what you think may have happened on your own, but note that the language Butler potentially used may not be suitable for work:

Some lip-readers on social media have speculated Butler called Brooks a "bum" and an "[expletive]" and that he was weak.

Even though what Butler said on the court may remain a mystery, what he said during a postgame press conference is not exactly a secret.

Butler said the following when asked about the interaction:

"No. We're not having fun. Get me on the record for this. I don't like Dillon Brooks. So we're never having fun. I'm a fierce competitor. He's a fierce competitor. But there ain't nothing fun about that."

The Warriors have a series lead, 3-1, over the Rockets heading into Game 5.

Any intense moments between Butler and Brooks are worth watching.
