Steph Curry's trainer explains the impact of Jimmy Butler on the Warriors' superstar's game

On Saturday, Steph Curry's trainer, Brandon Payne, sat down with Sportskeeda Mark Medina for an exclusive interview where he answered a few questions related to the Warriors superstar.

During one segment of the interview, Medina asked Payne about the relationship between Curry and his new teammate Jimmy Butler's game and how they elevate each other. Curry's trainer readily answered with a detailed response to explain the great synergy between the two stars.

"I’ll tell you what really helps – when you have a teammate that consistently gets to the free-throw line. You got a guy that can take pressure off of you because he can effectively operate in late shot-clock situations."

"It alleviates some defensive pressure. You’re always going to have at least two sets of eyes on Jimmy Butler. You got his primary defender and at least one help guy. That takes two set of guys off of Stephen Curry."

Butler was injured during Game 2 of the Rockets' playoff series. However, the Warriors bounced back and took the series lead without him in Game 3.
