GSW vs TOR ScoutingGSW vs TOR Scouting
Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

Butler scores 18, but Curry injured in Warriors 117-114 win over Raptors
SAN FRANCISCO -- — Jimmy Butler had 18 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists for his second triple-double with Golden State, and the Warriors held on to beat the Toronto Raptors 117-114 on Thursday night after Stephen Curry left the game with an injury.
Curry, who was held out of Tuesday’s win over the Milwaukee Bucks to get rest, did not play the final 15 minutes after suffering a pelvic contusion. Curry was hurt while driving for a layup late in the third quarter when he landed hard on his tailbone as he crashed to the floor. He remained down for several moments before being helped to his feet and taken to the locker room.
Draymond Green added 21 points and seven rebounds for the Warriors. Quinten Post had 18 on six 3-pointers.
Scottie Barnes had 29 points and 10 rebounds for the Raptors. Immanuel Quickley scored 21 while Jakob Poeltl added 18 points and eight rebounds.
Takeaways Raptors: Playing a third consecutive game without RJ Barrett , Toronto kept the game close but didn’t have enough firepower to get over the top.
Warriors: Steve Kerr’s squad completed a 6-1 homestand looking very much like a team ready to push deep into the postseason. The Warriors improved to 16-3 since acquiring Butler before the trade deadline.
Key moment With the Warriors clinging to a three-point lead late in the fourth quarter Butler made a fantastic block on Jamal Shead’s layup attempt and was then fouled. He made both free throws to secure the win.
Key stat Green scored 18 points in the first half, the most he’s had in the first two quarters of a game since getting 22 against the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the 2016 Finals.
Up next The Warriors face the Hawks in Atlanta on Saturday. The Raptors host the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.
