Warriors’ Jimmy Butler’s lively sideline antics vs. Heat draw obvious relationship analogy

Jimmy Butler couldn’t hide his excitement during the Golden State Warriors’ 120-100 victory over the Miami Heat, and teammate Georges Niang had a hilarious explanation. The injured star, who has been working toward his return from a torn ACL, was particularly animated on the sideline against his former team. Speaking after the win, Niang addressed Butler’s lively behavior, joking that the forward probably had extra motivation against Miami. “I wonder why,” Niang said when asked about Butler’s energy. He then offered a relationship analogy to explain the competitive feelings that can linger after leaving a team.
