The Golden State Warriors continue to fight bravely without beating the Minnesota Timberwolves in Steph Curry’s absence, but Jimmy Butler has a reason to be excited.
The 97-102 defeat at home of the Golden State Warriors must win Game 4 as they continue to suffer in Steph Curry’s absence.
Jimmy Butler did a splendid job of being “Alpha” in the absence of Curry, but the steam disappeared over time as the young Timberwolves took control.
However, Butler emphasizes that the “beautiful sights” seen in Game 3 are what he says everyone will happen, so there were some big positives to the warriors.
Butler was the Warriors’ top scorer in Curry’s absence and played the most time despite being injured against Rocket.
Draymond Green was disappointed and played in just 29 minutes for the infamous “triple single,” but Steve Kerr is encouraged by the shape of Jonathan Cuminga.
Kuminga has been on the team’s fringe throughout the postseason, but was impressed by the spurt, and Game 3 against the Wolves was his biggest statement game.
Kuminga won 30, and his combination of drive and shooting touch gave the warrior much needed breathing space to close this game.
After the match, Butler praised Kuminga’s influence as a “beautiful sight,” saying that he has been predicting one connection all along.
He states: “When he’s open, he shoots the ball, attacks, reaching the free throw line. It’s a beautiful sight to see. As I tell everyone, I can thrive together.
“I’m going to him, when I have the ball, you go here, you do this. We talk, listen to each other and he has an incredible game like tonight.
Eulogies was written for Kuminga’s Warriors career when he was repeatedly ignored by Kerr in the postseason despite looking good in a limited number of minutes.
But first of all, Butler’s injury and now Curry issues have unexpectedly stolen the spotlight of Cuminga, and he makes the most of it.
Regardless of what happened before, Kuminga can make this effect undeniable in the eyes of Game 4 and previous fixtures.
This would be an incredible comeback for players who have always had an uneasy relationship with the organization, but ultimately, all treatments.
Game 3 was not a victory, but not due to lack of effort by Kuminga. Now that he has approved the famous Butlerseal, he can begin engineering the conversion.
