Steph Curry credits Butler's arrival for his 2-game mini-breakout — 72 points in 68 minutes on 22-of-43 shooting, with 14 3-pointers.

Steve Kerr believes Jimmy Butler will “settle” the Warriors down in clutch moments. Called the collapse in Utah last night a good example: “Ten-point lead with three minutes left, I’m confident we close out that game with Jimmy.”

The Heat-Jimmy Butler saga seems to have reached its final chapter. Miami is closing in on a trade to send Butler to the Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson and a protected first-round draft pick, ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported.
