Buddy Hield arguably had the best first half of his playoff career during Game 7 between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets.
In 16 minutes of action, Hield torched the nets from beyond the arc. He has 22 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the field, including 6-of-7 from downtown.
A moment that stood out from his first-half performance was his shot to end the first quarter. He knocked down a deep triple from halfcourt, giving the Warriors the lead to end the quarter. This gave him a lot of momentum in the second quarter, continuing to convert his 3-point attempts with ease.
How fans reacted to Buddy Hield's performance
Fans went wild over his performance on social media. Here are some of their reactions.
“November Buddy Hield in a game 7,” one fan said, posting a GIF of an emotional LeBron James after winning the 2016 NBA Finals.
“Buddy hield magnet ball in a game 7,” another remarked.
“Steph getting bailed from another blown 3-1 lead by Buddy Hield magnet ball,” one fan commented.
“Buddy Hield channeling his inner Klay Thompson,” a fan said.
“Buddy, keep the fire burning extremely hot! Thank you!!!!!” one exclaimed.
It is certainly a huge performance for Hield to have in his playoff career, considering this is his first series. He has made crucial plays throughout the course of the games between the Warriors and Rockets.
Golden State will be very thankful for Hield if they end up beating the Rockets in Game 7. His efforts on both sides of the ball have benefitted the team so far; if the same goes with his scoring explosion on Sunday night, the Warriors will be in cruise control for the remainder of the contest.
If the Warriors win Game 7, they will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the West Semifinals. Game 1 would take place on May 6.
