Buddy Hield praises Jimmy Butler for reigniting the Warriors' championship mindset, saying, "He sold us back in" on winning.

For the third game of their road swing, Butler returned to the floor on Monday night for Golden State's contest in Charlotte against the Hornets. In his return to the court, Butler tallied 13 points on 3-of-7 shooting from the field to go along with four assists, three rebounds and a steal in 31 minutes.
