Prior to the trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors were 25-26 and slightly outside of the Play-In picture. All hope of competing for a championship in the West was pretty much lost and the chances of making a playoff push were fading.

After defeating the New York Knicks on Tuesday night, the Warriors are now 9-2 in the Jimmy Butler era and 9-1 when he's in the lineup. They defeated a Knicks team that was on a three-game winning streak in what was arguably one of their most impressive wins of the season.
