Not only did the Rockets blow out the Warriors, 109-94, on Wednesday, but Golden State lost Jimmy Butler to a pelvic contusion in the first quarter after a hard fall on a rebound attempt. Butler is expected to have an MRI on Thursday, which will give us more information on his status moving forward in this series.

The Golden State Warriors' chances at taking a commanding 2-0 lead over the Houston Rockets in their first-round series took a significant hit in the first half of Wednesday's Game 2 when Jimmy Butler suffered an injury on a hard fall.

After two games, the physicality of an already intense first-round series between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets is taking a toll. The Warriors finished their Game 2 loss in Houston without their star wing, Jimmy Butler.
