“Do You Want to See Your Ex Do Better?”: Warriors Teammate Explains Jimmy Butler’s Actions During Heat Game

Jimmy Butler couldn’t play against his former team on Thursday, but that didn’t stop him from enjoying every minute of it. Still rehabbing the torn ACL he suffered against Miami in January, Butler was especially lively on the Warriors’ sideline as Golden State beat the Heat 120-100. When teammate Georges Niang was asked about it after the game, he had a simple explanation. “I wonder why,” Niang said. In his postgame interview , Niang explained that he could understand the feeling, even if Butler had not openly expressed it.
