With a minute left and the Warriors up by nine points, Butler slammed the door on the Rockets by sizing up Alperen Sengun before nailing a 19-foot midrange jumper in a decidedly ’90s-style isolation possession.

Butler was quite a revelation for the Warriors in the regular season following his blockbuster trade from the Miami Heat. Based on his performance in Game 1, it appears that the 35-year-old is primed to take it to another level in the postseason.
