Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, big game last night. Jimmy Butler showed up, big time playoff. Jimmy wins the game. Anthony Slater's here to talk about it. S&I break down the Cav and Thunder sweeps to see who was more dominant in the first round. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, fellas.
Anthony Slater hanging out late after the Warriors pick up a big win in game four to go up 3-1. Anthony, I think we saw a playoff, Jimmy, between the clutch free throws and the clutch rebound. They were probably glad to have him out there last night.
Yeah, it was a great day to be Jimmy Butler for not only, obviously, they won the game and he had a flying rebound, 27 points, 12 free throws. But in front of me right now, I'm seeing a replay of the Heat game, and currently the Cavaliers are up 38-12. And I'm not going to call Jimmy Butler a petty individual, you know.
But I have an inkling that he may have enjoyed both NBA playoff games tonight, if you know what I mean. But, yeah, 40-12. the Cavaliers, by the way, at this point in this replay. But yeah, I mean, Jimmy Butler, to me, like he said, I talked to him just a little bit at his locker postgame. He talked about how painful the injury was.
Steve Kerr is saying he probably would have missed one to two weeks. Jimmy kind of confirmed that like it was a regular season. And he kind of tried to play game three, but admitted that like it was it was a good decision and he would have like basically been waddling on the court if they had allowed him to play game three.
And tonight he mentioned, he's like, look at me running in the first three quarters. He said, remember when he had the chase down hard foul on Dylan Brooks? He was like, go rewatch that play. I'm scooting up the court. Because he said, not only did he fall hard on the, you know, kind of ass, I guess we're just going to say that on this podcast, but...
Yeah, his like hip kind of like tailbone area kind of came up and it's made it really hard for him to like lift his left leg as he's running. I guess he loosened up in the fourth. He was really good in the fourth. The five free throws that clinched the game, right? He gets fouled on a pretty bad Dylan Bryce court and foul in the corner for three.
