On a night when Steph Curry sat out for some needed rest, Butler filled up the stat sheet with 24 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists.
Not only was Butler's performance critical to getting the Warriors a bounce-back win, but it also put him in the franchise record books.

In those 17 games, Butler has helped his new team to a red-hot 15-2 record and a much-improved NBA playoffs outlook.
With Curry absent, the Warriors especially relied on the six-time All-Star down the stretch to carry their offense.

In the fourth quarter alone, Butler recorded nine points, four assists and three rebounds to help stave off a Bucks squad that went on a huge run to start the second half. His witty drawn foul on a 3-point attempt at the end of the third quarter -- he converted all three free throws -- restored Golden State's lead for good.
With the Western Conference standings crowded, the Warriors wouldn't mind another 100 rebounds and assists from Butler over their last 13 regular-season games.
