Unveiling Jimmy Butler’s Explosive Playoff Performances That Changed the Game Forever
Butler poured in 38 points in Golden State’s 121-116 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in Tuesday night’s Western Conference play-in game to set up the Warriors for a first-round series with the Houston Rockets. He shot 12 of 20 from the floor and 12 of 18 from the foul line, finishing with one more point than teammate Steph Curry’s 37.
Had Butler been able to hit a couple more free throws, it would have been the ninth time Butler scored 40 or more in a playoff or play-in game. Nevertheless, when scoring 38 or more in such contests, his team is now 8-1. When the lights shine the brightest, Butler seems to come through as often as any player in the league.
