Golden State Warriors Triumph Over Chicago Bulls in Jimmy Butler's Debut
The Golden State Warriors secured a decisive 132-111 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night, marking Jimmy Butler’s highly anticipated debut with the team. Butler, acquired in a recent trade with the Miami Heat, joined the Warriors’ starting lineup alongside Steph Curry, Buddy Hield, Draymond Green, and Quinten Post. The former Miami All-Star contributed 20 points, while Curry led the charge with 34 points, including a scorching 24-point third quarter.
The game began with the Bulls taking an early lead, but the Warriors rallied in the second half, erasing a 25-point deficit to take control. Butler’s presence provided a new dynamic for Golden State, as his ability to slow the game down and draw fouls complemented Curry’s sharpshooting. The Warriors’ improved consistency and offensive versatility were on full display, with the team shooting 15-of-38 from beyond the arc.
For the Bulls, Coby White was the standout performer, but the team struggled to maintain momentum after their strong start. The loss dropped Chicago to a 22-30 record, while the Warriors improved to 25-26, keeping their playoff hopes alive in the competitive Western Conference.
Butler expressed excitement about playing alongside Curry, calling him “the greatest shooter in history” and emphasizing the ease of fitting into the Warriors’ system. The victory extended Golden State’s recent success, as they have gone 6-2 since acquiring Butler. The team now looks to build on this momentum as they continue their push for a postseason berth.
