Things are finally starting to look good for the Golden State Warriors. Jimmy Butler has played two games for the Dubs, and they’ve been thoroughly dominant for the final quarter-and-a-half of each of those games, landing two road wins in the process. On Monday it was a 125-111 win over the Milwaukee Bucks (who admittedly were without Giannis Antetokounmpo). They’ll try to add to that momentum with a Wednesday-Thursday Texas doubleheader, and hopefully bring some swagger and a winning streak into the All-Star break.
For now, let’s grade Monday’s game. As always, grades are based on my expectations for each player, with a “B” grade representing the average performance for that player.
