The Golden State Warriors are officially back in the playoff mix with Jimmy Butler in town.
Warriors could take West’s No. 6 seed soon
The Athletic’s Anthony Slater reported this about the Warriors’ latest 128-92 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday in relation to their playoff positioning:
“Warriors crush the Hornets: 128-92. That’s 3-0 out of the break and 6-1 with Jimmy Butler. They’re within a half-game of the 6th spot in a jammed up West. Favorable five-game road trip next: at Magic, Sixers, Hornets, Knicks and Nets,” Slater wrote.
Butler’s impact on Warriors has been groundbreaking
The Marquette product has been Golden State’s saving grace.
