‘Playoff Jimmy’ starred at the power forward spot in Golden State’s rollercoaster victory, one that saw star Ja Morant sustain a knee injury late in the third quarter but re-enter the game as the Grizzlies gave Golden State everything it could handle.

The Golden State Warriors secured a spot in the 2025 NBA Playoffs as the seventh seed in the Western Conference following a win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Stephen Curry stole the show with a fourth-quarter takeover, but that game was also the latest example of how Jimmy Butler can raise his level when the stakes are highest.

Trailing as a seventh seed, the Warriors clawed their way into the postseason with a heart-stopping 121-116 play-in victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Despite key contributions across the board, the night ultimately belonged to two superstars: Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry.
