After the victory, all the Warriors big names had praise for their in-season acquisition. Stephen Curry made sure all proper respect was given in an interview with Inside the NBA and both Draymond Green and Steve Kerr raved about the stability Butler is able to provide for their offense.

During Sunday's Game 1 against the Houston Rockets, the Golden State Warriors got their first taste of "Playoff Jimmy." Widely known as one of the top playoff competitors in the association, Jimmy Butler lived up to the hype in his postseason debut with the Warriors.

Buddy Hield had an underwhelming performance off the bench for the Warriors. The 3-point marksman only delivered two points, while shooting 1-of-4 from the field and 0-of-2 from beyond the arc.
