UNITED STATES – Coming off a blowout Game Two that saw Butler get knocked out with a hip contusion after a nasty fall, Buddy stepped up in his absence, dropping 17 points on 6-of-13 shooting and making 5-of-11 threes. He also had 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals.

The legend Steph Curry led the way for the Dubs with 36 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists.

Fred VanVleet led the way for the Rockets with 17 points, and Alperen Sengun had 15 points and 11 rebounds.

That was a great win for the Dubs. Jimmy Butler will try to come back tomorrow and put the Rockets in a 3–1 hole.

We’re going to keep things on the hardwood, where our new national champs were crowned.
