SAN FRANCISCO — Since Jimmy Butler joined the Golden State Warriors at the trade deadline from Miami, he has brought an energy and winning mentality they were searching for to make a playoff push. Butler has been thrilled to complement Stephen Curry and Draymond Green and find that joy again playing basketball that he had sought in leaving the Heat. Butler will be counted on even more as Curry recovers from a pelvic injury that he suffered on Thursday night. Curry will not play in the Warriors' game against the Hawks on Saturday.
