The Warriors not only suffered a tough loss in the game, but also they lost one of their best players due to a nasty fall. Late in the first quarter, Jimmy Butler went up for a rebound and was knocked down hard by Amen Thompson.
Butler did not return to the game and this hurt Golden State’s chance of getting back into the game. If the Warriors want to bounce back themselves, they’ll need Butler back.
Game 3 is Saturday, April 26, at 8:30 PM EST.
