The Golden State Warriors are off to a strong start since the addition of new star Jimmy Butler, improving to 2-0 following Monday’s 125-111 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Stephen Curry, who tied his season-high output with 38 points in the victory, credited Butler’s presence for easing his offensive workload.

With Butler on the floor, Curry now has a reliable outlet against the double—and at times triple—teams he was seeing as soon as he crossed half court prior to the trade.
