But the Golden State Warriors are not a normal No. 7 seed with their championship pedigree, and Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Houston Rockets in Game 2 at the Toyota Center may be more than just a normal loss depending on Jimmy Butler's status.

The Golden State Warriors had to play three quarters without Jimmy Butler in Game 2 against the Houston Rockets. The six-time All-Star exited during the first quarter after falling hard on his tailbone in a collision with Amen Thompson.

The veteran wing will miss the remainder of Game 2 with a pelvis contusion after suffering a bad fall against the Rockets.
