The Golden State Warriors are 2–0 since adding Jimmy Butler to the starting lineup, with blowout wins over the Chicago Bulls and, on Monday, the Milwaukee Bucks. It is far too early to tell whether the trade will push the Warriors back into title contention, but so far, Stephen Curry has thrived with his new running mate.
Curry scored 38 points on 12-of-24 shooting against the Bucks, while Butler added 20 points. For the second consecutive game, Butler thrived at the free throw line, knocking down 12-of-15 from the stripe.
