Butler dubbed himself “Robin” to Curry’s “Batman” late in the regular season, paying homage to the iconic crime fighters from the DC comic series and indicating he was happy to take a backseat to his superstar teammate.

The Houston Rockets are all tied up at 1-1 with the Golden State Warriors, and the first two games have been extremely physical between the rivals. Warriors point guard Stephen Curry commented on the Rockets' tactics in the series so far.

The Rockets are built on being a big, physical team that wants to dominate opponents into submission. They ranked fourth in the NBA in defensive rating during the regular season and have held the Warriors to an average of 94.5 points per contest in the first two games of this series.
