Butler: “When you put a bunch of good basketball players together on the floor, they always figure out a way to win. We should be 4-0. I’m not going to lie to you. Sick to my stomach because of it since I got here. But we’re going to figure it out.”

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr on Stephen Curry’s showing: “The guy is 37 years old. Incredible. Fifty-two points with people draped all over him all game long. The conditioning. The skill. The audacity. The belief. It’s just incredible to watch Steph at work.” More:

Draymond Green said Butler is a “franchise changer” for the Warriors. “He’s helping revitalize what we’ve got here. The belief amongst this team now that he’s arrived as opposed to what it was before he got here — it’s night and day.” More:

Curry says he doesn’t take the response the Warriors get at opposing arenas for granted. “I actually thrive off of it. … Not only does it keep me in the moment and keep me motivated, you do know that’s probably one of the things you’ll miss when it’s all over.” More:

Curry got "MVP" chants in the fourth quarter. He remembered Warriors fans at Oracle Arena chanting "Beat LA" but "the Laker fans were way louder when Kobe (Bryant) came in. ... It's sports. It's fun. Embrace it all." "Basketball is in a really good place." More:
