Cruz took to Twitter ahead of the game and shortly after winning to share videos of the crowd and a photo of himself during a postgame interview.

Cruz and Kimmel agreed to the challenge earlier this month after the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host poked fun at Cruz for attending a Houston Rockets playoff game with a “super cool T-shirt over the polo look."

Cruz responded on Twitter, calling on Kimmel to “settle this man-to-man.”

".@jimmykimmel All right, Big Guy...you talk a good game. You besmirched my support for the @HoustonRockets,” Cruz tweeted. “So let’s settle this man-to-man: one-on-one, hoops (or 'ring-ball,' if you prefer). The loser gives $5k to the (non-political) charity of the winner’s choice.”

The game took place at 5 p.m. local time Saturday at Texas Southern University in Houston. The two men played to 11 points, with each made basket counting for one point.
