The NBA season has seen many trends. From the unfortunate series of players suffering major injuries to the ejection of star players borne out of the bigger issue with the officiating. Furthermore, 2017-18 also saw a light trend and that is teammates moving in perfect synchrony during random moments in games.
With a few games remaining in the season, the Minnesota Timberwolves' Jimmy Butler returned from an injury just in time to join in on the fun. During their game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Butler was seen having a moment of perfect synchrony with teammate Jamal Crawford on their way to the bench.

Despite missing a bunch of games, Butler appears to have not missed a beat in his moment with Crawford. In fact, his return sparked a huge Timberwolves win over the Lakers, 113-96. He played 23 minutes and contributed 18 points, two rebounds, and four steals.
This was a much-needed victory for Minnesota as they're in a tight position battle in a volatile Western Conference playoff race. Currently owning a 45-35 record, the Timberwolves are barely clinging to dear life with the ninth-placed Denver Nuggets only a half game behind them.
Butler has one more game to warm himself up against the lowly Memphis Grizzlies before a crucial matchup with the Nuggets to close off the regular season.
