When the Warriors needed it most, Buddy Hield delivered a career night to defeat Houston and send Golden State into the second round.

Buddy Hield did not mince his words about his history with Dillon Brooks after dropping 33 points in the elimination game vs. the Rockets.

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.
