With Jimmy Butler back in the starting lineup and the chance to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the first-round series against the Houston Rockets, the Golden State Warriors took advantage in Game 4. After a back-and-forth chippy contest, Butler and the Warriors took over down the stretch to hold off the Rockets in another thriller in Game 4, 109-106.
After missing the final three quarters of Game 2 and all of Game 3 with a pelvic contusion, Butler returned in vintage "Playoff Jimmy" fashion. The veteran wing tallied 27 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the field with six assists, five rebounds and a block in 40 minutes.
