Jimmy Butler didn't seem too unhappy with his Timberwolves' 116-99 loss to Golden State on Friday night as he waved his towel in unison with the Warriors fans celebrating their win in Oracle Arena.

The Timberwolves 29-year-old wing dropped 21 points in the loss after sitting out Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz with "general soreness." The Athletic reported that Butler's decision to rest was the next step in his effort to leave Minnesota and be traded elsewhere.

Butler went 0–for–8 from the three and watched the finals minutes of play from the bench, where he was clearly content with trolling the Timberwolves.
