'Pass to Steph!' - Butler issues wise words from bench as Warriors win again

Steph Curry moves 16th on the NBAs all-time points-scorers list as he impresses in the Golden State Warriors victory over the New Orleans Pelicans; the Warriors have won eight straight since 0-3 start to the season with latest victory perhaps down to Jimmy Butlers clipboard...

Injured guard Jimmy Butler dressed up as a member of the Golden State Warriors' coaching staff and held up a clipboard with the message 'Pass to Steph' as the team made it eight wins in a row in the NBA.

The Steph in question, the legendary Stephen Curry, scored 25 points as the Warriors beat the New Orleans Pelicans 138-87 - the largest win by any team so far this season.

Curry passed DeMar DeRozan (26,800) for 16th place on the NBA's all-time career scoring list, with the 38-year-old's tally now 26,803.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said of Butler's input: "I told [assistant coach] Khalid (Robinson] 'one of these days we should have Jimmy dress up like us'.

"He's always got some great outfit on, something fashionable, and we wear our quarter-zips and sweaters.

"I said: 'we should really get him to dress like a coach one day' and then he walks out and he's dressed like us.
