Jimmy Butler’s Warriors Debut Sparks Dominant Win Over Bulls—Golden State’s Playoff Push Begins

On Saturday evening, Jimmy Butler made an immediate impact in his first game with the Golden State Warriors, helping them secure a dominant 132-111 victory over the Chicago Bulls. The six-time NBA All-Star wasted no time showcasing his ability, finishing with 25 points, two rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block. Butler was highly efficient, shooting 7-for-12 from the field in just 29 minutes of action.

Golden State now sits at an even 26-26 through 52 games, placing them 11th in the Western Conference. The team has struggled with consistency, splitting their last ten games at 5-5, but Butler’s arrival could provide the spark they need to climb the standings in the second half of the season.

The Warriors controlled the game against the Bulls from start to finish, with Butler seamlessly fitting into their offensive flow alongside Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. His defensive presence was also felt, adding another layer to Golden State’s perimeter defense.

Next up, the Warriors will travel to Milwaukee for a showdown against Damian Lillard and the Bucks. With Butler now in the mix, Golden State will look to build on their momentum as they push for a playoff spot in the competitive Western Conference.
