The Golden State Warriors and free-throw shooting. They're phrases that haven't particularly gone together seamlessly over the past decade, such has been the largely jump-shooting nature of Stephen Curry and previously Klay Thompson.
The Warriors are starting to diversify though and for the better as they look to preserve Curry's brilliance for a little while longer. Golden State ranked 23rd in free-throw attempts per game at the All-Star break last season, having been crying out for something different to complement Curry's exploits from beyond the arc.
They found that with Jimmy Butler who completely re-energized the Golden State offense, taking them from 23rd in free-throw attempts all the way up to third in the period following the All-Star break.
