Listed as questionable on the injury report, Jimmy Butler was ruled out prior to tipoff and his status remains up in the air for Game 4 on Monday. Buddy Hield drained five 3-pointers and scored 17 points in his absence and afterward embraced the comic book reference coined by Butler.

"He's huge in the locker room," Draymond Green added of Hield. "He's huge on the plane. Just for the aura of this team, he's big."

Jimmy Butler never misses a chance to take a shot at Warriors teammate Buddy Hield. Shortly after Steph Curry carried the Butler-less Warriors to an incredible 104-93 Game 3 win over the Houston Rockets on Saturday night at Chase Center, the injured Warriors forward took to Instagram to celebrate the victory.
