After defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 125-111 on Monday, the Golden State Warriors are now 2-0 and off to a great start since the addition of new star Jimmy Butler.

Butler’s presence eased Stephen Curry’s offensive workload, as he tied his season-high scoring total of 38 points in the win.Curry now has a dependable outlet against the double—and occasionally triple—teams he was encountering as soon as he crossed half court before the trade thanks to Butler on the field. Butler took advantage of these scenarios by attacking the hoop and getting to the free-throw line 15 times while making 12 of them. With 20 points at the end of the game, head coach Steve Kerr is still praising his “seamless” fit on the squad.Kerr said Jimmy Butler’s adjustment to Golden State has been “absolutely seamless, and it’s because of Jimmy’s IQ. He simply has an amazing sense of the game. We only needed to demonstrate a handful of our activities to him. It’s just basketball otherwise.Butler was so worn out after five minutes of his Golden State Warriors debut that he asked Steve Kerr to take a timeout. A few days later, he was still joking with his teammates about it.

“You gotta think, I haven’t played basketball in a month,” Butler remarked. “My wind is nowhere close to where it needs to be. I can’t wait till I’m back in basketball shape where I’m used to being. I won’t miss free throws as much. I’ll have lift on my jump shots. At the moment, I’m just gassed. I’m happy that we’re winning. But I gotta become in better shape.”
