Chicago Bulls’ Jimmy Butler Won’t Shy From Pressure In Home Stretch

Jimmy Butler recently returned from a knee sprain in order to help the Chicago Bulls beat the Toronto Raptors by a slim margin, and it seems like he is determined to get his team into the playoffs.

Butler has occupied an interesting position on the Bulls this season. He has tried to adopt a leadership role, but that has been a work in progress without a doubt. He is now an All-Star caliber player; however, he was clearly frustrated with head coach Fred Hoiberg‘s approach in the early season.

Butler recorded 13 points, six assists, five rebounds and two blocks during the win over Toronto, and he knows what the Bulls want from him in the stretch run.
