The Warriors entered the locker room up 51-39, mostly thanks to 22 points from a red-hot Hield. With the Rockets successfully stifling Batman (Curry) and Robin (Jimmy Butler III), Alfred knocked down six of his seven 3-point attempts before intermission.

Remember when Buddy Hield’s biggest playoff related thing was how he had played 600 games without making a postseason? I think those days are in the past.

Buddy Hield came up big in the first Game 7 of his NBA career, scoring 33 points to propel the Golden State Warriors to victory over Houston.
