In the Warriors' loss on Thursday, Butler did not have a notable performance. He scored 17 points on 6-for-13 shooting to go along with seven rebounds, four assists, and a steal. It was a solid game, but not what the Warriors need to pull off a win with Curry off the court.

Stephen A. Smith says Jimmy Butler must elevate his game and steal a win with Steph Curry sidelined.

Minnesota blasted Golden State in Game 2, and Butler didn't seem terribly interested in, if even capable of, doing much about it
