Jimmy Butler may have lost his "joy" of playing for the Miami Heat in his sixth season, but ESPN's Shams Charania says he has found it again with the Golden State Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors have been a different team since acquiring Jimmy Butler III at the NBA's trade deadline in February -- but this isn't the first time he changed a team for the better.

The Golden State Warriors are on a strong NBA run, making them one of the league's most dangerous teams. Jimmy Butler has played a key role in their success but faced criticism for his scoring. In response,

Stephen Curry had 28 points, seven rebounds and five assists two days after becoming the first player in NBA history with 4,000 3-pointers and a day after turning 37, leading the Golden State Warriors past the New York Knicks 97-94 on Saturday night.

The Warriors' win streak moved to a season-high seven straight after they held off the Knicks in a close battle, 97-94.

Golden State's win streak puts them in the sixth seed for the playoffs with a month left in the regular season.
