Since Jimmy Butler joined the Golden State Warriors at the trade deadline from Miami, he has brought an energy and winning mentality they were searching for to make a playoff push.

Butler isn't taking anything for granted, though. During his postgame news conference, Butler admitted that without Curry in the rotation, Golden State must play near-perfect basketball in order to remain competitive.

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler watched his All-Star teammate Stephen Curry exit the game in the third quarter of Thursday's 117-114 win over the Toronto Raptors. Curry was ultimately ruled out due to a pelvic injury as the Warriors captured their ninth win in 10 tries.
