How Buddy Hield’s Unexpected Two-Way Mastery Is Shaping the Warriors’ Championship Hopes
For years, the Golden State Warriors had Game 6 Klay (Thompson).
Now, they have Game 7 Buddy (Hield).
The shooting guard was on an absolute tear from start to finish against the Houston Rockets.
He exploded for 22 points in the first half, including a logo 3-pointer to close out the first quarter.
However, as much as those offensive outbursts helped the victory, head coach Steve Kerr also said Hield’s defense was fundamental in the victory.
“I thought his defense was tremendous tonight, too,” Kerr said, via ESPN. “One of the keys to the game was Fred VanVleet only got two free throws. Fred has just destroyed us the last three games. He’s had an amazing series. He completely flipped things with his play. Buddy did a great job on him. So, this was not just a lights-out shooting performance for Buddy, it was a two-way performance.”
