Jimmy Butler responded to the Warriors' victory over the Rockets in Game 7 on Sunday night, with Buddy Hilder scoring 33 points.

Jimmy Butler III responded hilariously to the game in Game 7 of the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs West on Sunday night.

Hilde scored a game-high 33 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. He made 12 of 15 shots in the game, including 9 of 11 three-pointers. After the game, Butler responded to Hilder's performance. When the NBCS Warriors broadcast asked him about his teammates, his answers drew bursts of laughter.

"Everyone on the team except Buddy Hilder did a good job. Did he play tonight?" asked the interviewer.

"I beg for the fifth pick," Jimmy Butler replied.

What are the next plans for Jimmy Butler and the Warriors?

Jimmy Butler and Buddy Hilder shared the light moment. In any case, he was obviously proud of his teammates standing up and leading the Warriors to victory.

The Golden State Warriors have four players scoring in double digits, including Butler and Hilder. Stephen Curry scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in the game. He made 8 of 16 shots in the game, including 4 of 10 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. Butler scored 20 points and 8 rebounds, while Draymond Green scored 16 points and 6 rebounds.

The Warriors will advance to the Western Conference semi-finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Golden State Warriors had a 3-1 record in the regular season series, but it all happened before they traded Butler. In other words, their tactical strategies will be slightly different in the team that has core players such as Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle and Rudy Gober. However, they are ready to face the challenge and fight for a seat in the Western Conference Finals. The first game between the Warriors and the Timberwolves will be held on May 6 at 9:30 pm ET.
