Jimmy Butler double-doubles for Timberwolves on Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler scored 26 points with 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals, and 5 turnovers in 41.7 minutes of Sunday's 100-97 loss to the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
Butler went 10-for-15 from the field and 2-of-5 from beyond the arc while making 4-of-6 at the stripe on his way to a new season-high in points and his second double-double of the year. It was also only the second time this season he's made at least half of his field goal attempts, and Butler has now scored 20-plus in four of the last five as the Timberwolves prepare for the second half of a back-to-back set tonight versus the Charlotte Hornets.
