The Golden State Warriors are proving their championship pedigree once again, holding a 37-28 record and securing the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. Their recent success has been fueled by the midseason addition of Jimmy Butler, whose leadership and versatility have made a major impact. With Butler in the lineup, the Warriors boast an impressive 12-1 record.
Led by Stephen Curry and a strong supporting cast, the team is emerging as a serious title contender. Their latest win, a 130-120 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, extended their winning streak to five games. Curry scored 24 points, moving closer to the historic 4,000 career three-pointer milestone. Meanwhile, Butler recorded his first triple-double with the Warriors, finishing with 15 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.
The team’s depth was on full display, with Gary Payton II scoring a career-high 26 points and rookie Quinten Post contributing 11 points and 7 rebounds. Despite a 43-point third quarter from the Blazers, Golden State held strong to secure the win.
Rising Star Earning Respect
As the Warriors gain momentum, veteran big man Kevon Looney took a moment to praise rookie Quinten Post during an interview on Stein & Guru on 95.7 The Game.
“Quinten has improved so much since training camp,” Looney said. “I knew he could shoot, but he’s tough. His defense has really gotten better, and as a big man, that’s exactly what you want to see.”
Looney’s praise reflects Post’s rapid growth and the respect he’s earning from teammates. With young players stepping up and the team finding its rhythm, the Warriors aren’t just aiming for the playoffs—they’re chasing another championship. Their blend of experience and emerging talent could be the key to another deep postseason run.
