Jimmy Butler's assertiveness as a scorer in the absence of Stephen Curry was a major talking point heading into Game 2 of the Golden State Warriors' Western Conference Semi-Final series against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Despite a lopsided 117-93 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 of their Western Conference Semifinal series in the NBA Playoffs, the Golden State Warriors may have found a bright spot in the emergence of forward Jonathan Kuminga.

When Kuminga finally returned from injury, Golden State had already acquired Jimmy Butler. When the two shared the hardwood, Kuminga's production took a hit. In Game 2, Butler and Kuminga were able to share the court while staying in rhythm. After the game, Butler set the record straight about himself and Kuminga.
