Jimmy Butler makes blunt statement after Warriors game against Mavericks

Following the Warriors' road loss to the Mavericks on Wednesday, Jimmy Butler expressed his frustrations over his game during a postgame interview. Butler reflected on the turnovers he committed during the contest, especially in the final seconds, as he nudged himself to be better.

"I hate turning the ball over," Butler said. "I don't think that's what I'm supposed to be doing. That's tough. I gotta be better. Damn sure late game, at that. It is what it is now."

Further on in the interview, Jimmy Butler also shared that his game feels a little off right now. However, he assured fans it will improve as he keeps putting in the reps as he adjusts to playing with his new team.

Butler concluded Wednesday's matchup with 21 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and a block while shooting 8-of-17.

Golden State currently stands 10th in the Western Conference with a 27-27 record and looks forward to clinching much-needed wins to secure a spot in the playoffs.
