Noted playoff performer and coffee enthusiast Jimmy Butler was once again at the center of the frame for the Golden State Warriors' Game 4 victory over the Houston Rockets on Monday night. Returning from a painful fall and playing through pelvic and deep gluteal muscle contusions, the veteran scored 14 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter and made impact plays on defense down the stretch as the home team secured a 109-106 victory. With Butler, it's not just about what shows up on the stat sheet as he brings a unique panache and flair to the proceedings.
So it was no surprise at all to see him get right into Dillon Brooks' face to tell him what he really thinks of him during a stoppage of play in the second quarter. One need not be the most locked-in lipreader to get a general sense of his message to the Rockets guard.
