The Golden State Warriors are undefeated in the Jimmy Butler era, and it seems that a strategy is emerging: a second-half takeover. After turning a 24-point third-quarter deficit into a 21-point win on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls, the Warriors once again turned on the third and fourth-quarter burners en route to a 125-111 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night.
It started with — what else — a new starting lineup. Steve Kerr has been open that Draymond Green will play more center with Butler in the fold, and that began on Monday, with Green the starting five alongside Butler, Moses Moody, Buddy Hield, and Steph Curry.
