Jimmy Butler's Warriors are up 3-1 in their series against the Rockets, while the Heat were swept by the Cavs. Guess who's having fun again.

The Golden State Warriors were able to take a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Houston Rockets after a tight 109-106 victory on Monday night. Brandin Podziemski played a crucial part in securing the ball game in the Warriors' favor.

The Golden State Warriors made a blockbuster trade in February by acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat. It was a five-team trade, and the Warriors had to part ways with Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson, and Lindy Waters III.

Curry has shown this season that he still has a lot left in the tank, and Green has continued to be a steady force on the defensive side of the ball. There's no wondering when it will all end for the Warriors and their core group, but they can still make some noise, and that's what they're doing now.

BEFORE STEPHEN CURRY went out for his pregame ritual workout in Utah on Feb. 5, he emerged from the visitors locker room at the Delta Center to hug Andrew Wiggins as he was coming off the floor. Wiggins had just learned that he was being traded to the Miami Heat in a five-team blockbuster deal that would send Jimmy Butler III to Golden State.
