Jimmy Butler had high praise for Golden State Warriors' youngster Jonathan Kuminga, explaining that he thinks they can thrive together.

Jimmy Butler—who posted 33 points, seven rebounds and seven assists on Saturday—had a blunt response when asked about playing without Curry. To him, the team needs to focus on winning right now or it won't matter if Curry returns if the Warriors get eliminated before he can.

The Warriors know they will be underdogs in every game this series until Steph Curry returns, if he returns at all from his hamstring strain. They know two of the remaining four games will be in Minnesota, and the Timberwolves now need to win only twice more.
