The Golden State Warriors entered Game 3 of their first-round series against the Houston Rockets on Saturday without Jimmy Butler. Butler was ruled out for the contest due to the injury he suffered after a hard fall in Game 2, and it was a massive blow for the Warriors.

Stephen Curry had 36 points, and the Warriors delivered perhaps their gutsiest performance of the season in a 104-93 win to take a 2-1 series lead over the Rockets.
