“Butler was the perfect trade for the warriors. Hes the master at getting to the line and him driving to the hoop gives curry more space and less attention to him.”

“Can we say Steph is back ?!”
Last month, Steph Curry averaged 22.2 points per game with 44.6% efficiency, including 40.4% from deep. He had three 30-point games but had five outings with less than 20 points. The last five games in January were particularly worrying. The All-Star starter averaged 16.6 ppg on 39.2% shooting.
Curry flipped the narrative in February. After scoring 38 points against the Bucks, he improved his average to 31.8 ppg. He already has four 30-point games after accumulating three last month. Jimmy Butler’s arrival has not taken away his aggressiveness and efficiency.
Jimmy Butler is playing his best basketball with Steph Curry
Jimmy Butler had one of the worst stretches of his career in January. The former Miami Heat star told reporters that he had lost his “love” for the game. Butler averaged 11.4 ppg last month and was suspended three times before Pat Riley shipped him to the Bay Area.
Playing with Curry has revitalized Butler. The veteran forward is averaging 22.5 ppg, 5.5 rpg and 5.0 apg since taking his talents to Golden State. The six-time All-Star is also making 45.8% of his shots.
Jimmy Butler has rediscovered his love for basketball. After a tumultuous last two months in Miami, the change of scenery has done him good. The Warriors are 2-0 with him on the roster.
