Warriors Have Impressive Record Since Acquiring Jimmy Butler

The Golden State Warriors beat the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night, and it wasn’t particularly close.

Their 126-102 victory was due in part to the hard work of Jimmy Butler, who has seemingly found his footing with the team.

With this win, the Warriors are looking much better than they were just weeks ago.

As pointed out by Hoop Central, they are now 5-1 in the Butler era and may not be slowing down any time soon.

Their five wins with Butler have come against the Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, and Mavericks.

During Sunday’s game, Butler posted 18 points, three rebounds, and five assists.

One of the most impressive things about the game is that he had just one turnover.

When his time with the Warriors began, Butler said he was unhappy with the amount of turnovers he was committing and promised to change that.

Sure enough, he has.

The Warriors still aren’t where they want to be and hold the ninth spot in the West with a 30-27 record.

But that’s much better than where they were previously, plus they look energized and focused in a way that fans haven’t seen all season long.

There are many people saying that Butler may have been the missing piece they needed all along.

Of course, there were many questions and concerns about him before he joined the team, especially because of all that happened between him and the Miami Heat.

But Butler seems like a great fit in Golden State, and the team has been on a tear since he joined.

For the first time in months, they actually look like playoff contenders again.
