After the Golden State Warriors’ 125-111 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, Steph Curry was asked about the impact of Jimmy Butler’s arrival on his recent scoring streak. Curry, who scored 38 points in the game, acknowledged the connection between his improved performance and Butler’s presence, noting that Butler provides an additional offensive option and helps ease the pressure on Curry. With Butler drawing defensive attention, Curry has been able to create more open shots, contributing to his four consecutive games with 30+ points.
Since Butler’s addition, Curry has shot over 50% from the field and hit 14 three-pointers in two games. The Warriors’ offense has seen a boost, scoring well above their usual average, which bodes well for their playoff hopes. Curry highlighted how Butler’s ability to handle double-teams and create good shot opportunities has improved the Warriors’ overall offensive flow. He believes this has raised the team’s confidence, crucial for their success in the upcoming stretch of the season.
