Jimmy Butler News: Scores 19 points with six assists

Butler (knee) posted 19 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 123-91 win over the Bulls.

With the Warriors up big for most of the game, Butler took on more of a facilitator role in the offense. He finished with a plus/minus rating of plus-29 and helped Golden State earn its second straight victory. Butler had missed Golden State's last two games due to left knee injury management, but he looks as though he'll be ready to handle his normal minutes moving forward. He could, however, see his opportunities as a creator take a hit if the Warriors get Stephen Curry (quadriceps) back for their next game Friday versus Minnesota.
