Warriors Lead Series 2-1 After Game 3 Win, Curry Roasts Butler

The Golden State Warriors rebounded from a Game 2 loss to the Houston Rockets with a crucial 104-93 victory in Game 3, despite star Jimmy Butler being sidelined due to injury. Stephen Curry delivered an outstanding performance, posting 36 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds to propel his team to a 2-1 series lead. Buddy Hield also played a pivotal role, especially in the second quarter, helping to erase a double-digit deficit. Off the court, Curry and Butler exchanged lighthearted jabs on social media, with Curry poking fun at Butler’s viral courtside outfit and both referencing a Batman-Robin dynamic. The win was further amplified by Curry’s climb into the NBA’s all-time playoff scoring top ten and his humorous postgame remarks. The Warriors hope Butler will return for Game 4 as they look to solidify their advantage in the series.
