The Warriors were able to withstand being without Butler for Game 3 with Curry scoring 36 points and players like Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield stepping up. He returned for Game 4 and led the Warriors with 27 points, including five crucial free throws at the end to clinch the win.

After missing another chance to close out their first-round series against the Houston Rockets, Jimmy Butler remains confident the Golden State Warriors will prevail in Game 7 on Sunday.

The Golden State Warriors are getting Jimmy Butler back on Monday. The forward took a hard fall in Game 2 of their first-round series against the Houston Rockets and suffered a pelvic contusion. The Warriors lost that game, but bounced back with a 104-93 win in Game 3 on Saturday despite Butler's absence.
