Warriors' Green Calls Butler 'Franchise Changer' After Win Over Rockets

The Golden State Warriors have shown a revitalized performance since the acquisition of Jimmy Butler, improving to a 3-1 record with him on the team. In their latest game, they defeated the Houston Rockets 105-98, with Butler contributing 19 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. Draymond Green praised Butler as a 'franchise changer,' noting the significant shift in team confidence and belief since his arrival. Coach Steve Kerr highlighted Butler's all-around game, emphasizing his ability to help close out tight matches alongside star Stephen Curry. Despite the recent successes, Butler expressed regret over a close loss to the Mavericks, stating, 'We should be 4-0.' The Warriors now aim to carry this momentum into the second half of the season as they fight for a playoff spot.
