On Saturday night, the Golden State Warriors had one of their most improbable wins of the season when they took down the second-seed Houston Rockets without Jimmy Butler.
Throughout the season, the Warriors have had a horrible track record without Jimmy Butler, but somehow the team figured out a way to win in their most important game of the season. Butler has been publicly vocal about how he considers himself to be Curry’s Robin to his Batman.
“I think any team has a chance when I’m on the team,” Butler said last week. “But I know that every team has a chance if Steph is on the team. I get to play Robin. That’s my Batman.”
