The Golden State Warriors are set to play a pivotal Game 4 against the Houston Rockets on Monday night. Up 2-1 in the series, the Warriors have a chance to put the Rockets on the brink of elimination before heading back to Houston for Game 5.

In his first playoff game with the Warriors, Jimmy Butler delivered 25 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals Sunday night to give the Warriors a 1-0 lead over the Rockets in their first-round playoff series.

There's concern about how the Warriors will emotionally handle the physicality of the Rockets in their first-round series.
