Curry needed just four words to sum up what Butler, toughing out an injury, brought to the Warriors in the Game 4 win vs. the Rockets.

Coach Steve Kerr isn't sure how long the Warriors might be without Butler, who has helped the team to a 25-9 record since a February trade from the Heat. He was listed as questionable for Saturday’s Game 3 and then ruled out. An MRI Thursday reveled that he injured his pelvis and has a deep gluteal muscle contusion.

Stephen Curry finished the night with 17 points, three rebounds and three assists while shooting 6-of-13 from the field in the victory. Jimmy Butler added 27 points, along with six assists. Brandin Podziemski finished with 26, Buddy Hield added 15 and Draymond Green posted six.
