In Game 4 of the first-round series against the Houston Rockets, Jimmy Butler made a remarkable return after a one-game injury absence. He played 40 minutes, scoring 27 points, and played a crucial role in the Warriors' 109-106 win. Despite suffering from a pelvic contusion, Butler showcased determination and leadership, converting key free throws in the final moments. His teammate Draymond Green emphasized Butler's immense impact on the team, even when he struggled to move early in the game. The series now shifts back to Houston for Game 5, with the Warriors on the brink of advancing.
With Jimmy Butler's tailbone still hurting at the end, he came through in remarkable fashion and in every which way despite all the pain.
But it's just his presence. What his presence does for this team is humongous. He never complained. He stuck with it.
This is the best time of the year for everybody, this is why you go through what you go through.
I thought it was winning time. He played through the injury, it was beautiful.
