NBA fans react to Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry being ruled out for Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The shock dismissal of Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone in early April has led to a change in “energy” around the team, Serbian superstar Nikola Jokić admitted after a 120-101 Game 7 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.

Butler's return is a major boost for the Warriors, who will now be looking to take a commanding 3-1 series lead against the No. 2 seed Rockets. A win on Monday doesn't guarantee anything, but it puts Golden State in a great position to move on to the next round.
