Overview
- Late in the third quarter at Barclays Center, Butler hit a pull-up jumper, drew a foul on rookie Danny Wolf, and was recorded shouting what sounded like “white boy” along with expletives.
- A short courtside-audio clip posted by BrickCenter spread quickly as outlets including TMZ reported the exchange and noted uncertainty about the intended recipient.
- Golden State beat Brooklyn 120-107, with Butler finishing with 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in 31 minutes.
- Wolf had limited impact offensively for the Nets, missing both of his field-goal attempts in 20 minutes.
- In a separate in-game moment, Draymond Green told Nets superfan Mr. Whammy to “sit” during a free throw and later described the back-and-forth as fun.
