Golden State Warriors

Chase Center had plenty to celebrate on a Thursday night as the Warriors put together one of their most complete performances of the season. Butler III reads the passing lane, tips the ball free and races ahead for the one-handed finish in transition, the kind of two-way play that has made him the perfect fit alongside this roster. The ball movement that follows is vintage Golden State, Draymond finding Curry on the move, Curry swinging it immediately to Podziemski, who catches and drops in a lefty hook over the bigs without hesitation. And when Curry gets even a whisper of separation late, defenses already know what's coming, the lightning quick release that has been one of the most reliable shots in basketball for 15 seasons, draining through with 7:14 left to put the game away for good. Butler's 32 points and eight rebounds led four Warriors in double figures as Golden State posted its eighth game with three 20-point scorers, cruising to a 126-113 victory.
