Jimmy Butler Scores Efficiently Versus Blazers
6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler didn't get many scoring opportunities on Saturday against Portland, but he used his few chances well, shooting 5-for-9 from the field and 5-for-5 from the line. He ended up with 15 points while playing a big part on the defensive end as well, swatting away two shots. Butler has shot 51.9 percent from the field this month, so he's been in good form, although he rarely gets enough touches to put up 20-plus points. With that said, he'll be in a good spot to produce a good offensive game on Monday when the Sixers play New Orleans, who are 24th in defensive efficiency.
