Golden State is also conducting self-reflection after losing consecutive games against the Toronto Raptors and Dallas Mavericks. The Warriors need to find a way to compensate for the absence of Butler, who averaged 20.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists over 38 games.

Coby White scored 22 points, Josh Giddey added 21 off the bench, and Jalen Smith converted two clutch free throws late to lift the Chicago Bulls to a 120-115 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Wolves are up to 30 total nationally-televised games this season, with 18 still to come.

The Timberwolves have hit a rough patch, and the formerly spritely point guard Mike Conley is starting to look his age.

Keyonte George had a hilarious moment after dropping 43 points on the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday evening.
