The team is 16-2 with him on the court and has climbed back into the thick of the Western Conference playoff scene \u2014 currently in sixth place. Jimmy Buckets has brought new life to a squad that had been floundering, struggling to keep their heads above water.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jimmy Butler III earns #1 with his 2nd triple-double as a Warrior \u2694\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>His stamp on GSW is being made \ud83d\udcaa<\/p>\n<p>16 PTS \ud83c\udfc0 11 REB \ud83c\udfc0 12 AST \ud83c\udfc0 57.2 FPTs <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qwZg2kYIme\">pic.twitter.com\/qwZg2kYIme<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NBA Fantasy (@NBAFantasy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBAFantasy\/status\/1903070565998510161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 21, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">On Thursday night, Butler posted a triple-double in a win over the Toronto Raptors. This is his second one since joining the team. If it wasn\u2019t already clear, the Warriors made the right decision to swap Butler for Andrew Wiggins. While Wiggins is averaging more points with Miami thus far than Butler in Golden State, Jimmy\u2019s impact on the culture just hits differently.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\">Butler brings an extra dimension to the Warriors on both ends<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">What the Warriors have now in Butler is a second closer capable of leading in big moments. Some will point to Butler \u201cflaming out\u201d in the NBA Finals a couple of years ago against the Denver Nuggets. But when you look at the run required to make those Finals in the first place, what Butler helped the Heat accomplish is undeniable.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">Butler has already accomplished in a few weeks what Wiggins never did in almost five years with the Warriors. Wiggins has one triple-double in his career and it came before he arrived in the Bay Area. On the surface, Butler and Wiggins\u2019 games have similarities \u2014 but their approach to the game is where they part ways. Jimmy has that dog in him just like his new teammate Draymond Green, while Wiggins is certainly more laid back and less fiery. That fire is doing the Warriors good right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The newest Warriors star has brought versatility that Golden State desperately needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":45711,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
