The Golden State Warriors have put the Houston Rockets on the brink of elimination, with the Dubs holding a 3-1 lead entering Wednesday's Game 5.
Butler left the game in the first quarter of Game 2 and did not return due to a pelvic contusion, and he missed Game 3.
Stephen Curry increased his production to cover for his co-star's absence. He scored 36 points with seven rebounds, nine assists, a steal, and two blocks while shooting 12/23 overall, 5/13 from three, and 7/8 from the free-throw line. Plus, he and his teammates did not allow any Rockets players to reach 20 points.
Butler then came back in Game 4 and scored 27 points on 7/12 shooting (12/12 from the free-throw line) as the Dubs won by three to extend their series lead.
