Jimmy Butler III accounted for 32 points (14-of-22 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Thursday’s win over the Knicks.
After a slow start to the game, Butler and the Warriors grabbed control during the second and third quarters to take the victory. The 32 points were the most in a game for him in nearly two months, and his fifth 30-point game of the season. Butler’s category league value remains high, but Thursday’s performance was a reminder of what he’s capable of when aggressively hunting his shots.
