Jay Williams did not hold back his criticism of Jimmy Butler’s performance in the Warriors’ 117-110 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals. The ESPN analyst expressed his dismay that Butler was a non-factor offensively for most of the game.

In his first playoff game with the Warriors, Jimmy Butler delivered 25 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals Sunday night to give the Warriors a 1-0 lead over the Rockets in their first-round playoff series.

With Curry out for a second straight game, Butler did everything he could to keep his team afloat. However, the former Miami Heat star's efforts fell short as the Timberwolves gained the lead with just under seven minutes to play, never looking back.

Wolves superstar Anthony Edwards scored 28 of his 36 points in the second half and Julius Randle had a 24-point triple double to hand the Warriors a gut-wrenching 102-97 loss that put Golden State in a 2-1 series hole while returning home-court advantage to Minnesota in the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series.

ESPN's Jay Williams strongly believes the Golden State Warriors are being overlooked as a landing spot for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Golden State Warriors got the so-called "Playoff Jimmy" version of Jimmy Butler for roughly three and a half quarters of Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves Saturday night, May 10, at Chase Center -- and it was almost enough to earn them a victory and a 2-1 series lead in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.

The Houston Rockets beat the Golden State Warriors with a strong game from Steven Adams. After the game, Jimmy Butler praised him in a hilarious way highlighting his dominant physical presence.

Addressing the Jimmy Butler situation for the first time since the forward was traded to the Warriors, Pat Riley said that he wishes Butler well. He also said he expects the Heat to make roster changes in the offseason.
