In a thrilling first game of their playoff series, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets 95-85. Jimmy Butler, in his playoff debut with the Warriors, delivered an impressive performance, scoring 25 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, dishing out 6 assists, and stealing the ball 5 times. Butler’s stats mark him as the first player since 1973-74 to achieve 25 points and 5 steals in a playoff debut with a new franchise. He also tied Allen Iverson for the third-most playoff games with 25 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 steals. Butler’s crucial six points in the final 1:43 sealed the win for the Warriors, giving them a 1-0 lead in the series. Stephen Curry contributed significantly with 31 points, shooting 12 of 19, including five 3-pointers. Despite a strong start by the Rockets, who led by eight early on, the Warriors built a substantial lead before Houston narrowed it to three in the fourth quarter. The Rockets fought hard, securing 22 offensive rebounds and 22 second-chance points. Since Butler joined the Warriors on February 8, they have a record of 25-8 and boast the top-ranked defense in the league.
