Minutes after the Golden State Warriors wrapped up a masterpiece 104-93 win against the Houston Rockets Saturday night, they got what could be an even bigger victory.
Jimmy Butler, who was ruled out shortly before tip-off of Game 3 with a deep glute muscle contusion that was bad enough that he "literally cannot move well enough to play basketball," The Athletic's Anthony Slater reported there's real optimism Butler will be back for Game 4 on Monday in San Francisco.
"Jimmy Butler worked out on the practice court pregame, per source," Slater posted on social media minutes after the final buzzer sounded.
