Since Jimmy Butler was traded to the Golden State Warriors, he's developed a playful rivalry with his new teammate Buddy Hield. Butler has regularly poked fun at Hield, from thanking everyone on the Warriors except for Hield to criticizing his dribbling.

The Warriors entered the locker room up 51-39, mostly thanks to 22 points from a red-hot Hield. With the Rockets successfully stifling Batman (Curry) and Robin (Jimmy Butler III), Alfred knocked down six of his seven 3-point attempts before intermission.

Warriors shooting guard Buddy Hield roasted Dillon Brooks during Game 7, which took him back to the 2016 Elite Eight.
