Hield, in the first minute of the Warriors’ 99-88 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals, wore a black and blue pair of shorts instead of the black and yellow shorts his teammates had on. The Timberwolves’ bench pointed that out, which left Hield laughing on the court after he realized his error.

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

Stephen Curry scored 14 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, Buddy Hield scored 33 points, and the Warriors advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with a 103-89 win over the Rockets in Game 7.
