Even though Butler hasn't played for two and a half weeks, his performance has been impressive. Butler made 11 of 13 free throws from the free throw line in the game. His 13 free throws were just two fewer than the Warriors' record for a single game this season, while his 11 made free throws tied the team's highest for the season. In addition, he also set a record for a player making free throws in a debut in Warriors history.
"One of the key moments of this game was Butler's 13 free throws, which gave us confidence because we knew we could use them to interrupt the momentum of the opponent or establish our rhythm in the game. Standing at the free throw line is the best way to respond when the opponent is on a high pitch, which can calm the opposing fans and give us a chance to set up our defense. Warriors head coach Kerr said about this.
D. Green, who had 6 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 hot pots and a game-high plus/minus of +27, shared the same sentiment: "We've never had a similar low body language or anything like that in the whole game, unlike a lot of games this season, when we were behind in the past, we had that bad luck mentality, but this time it was completely different, and that's why we were able to turn the game around." ”
In this game, Butler played 28 minutes, delivered 25 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 hot pot performance, 11 of 13 free throws, and shot 58.3%.
