The Golden State Warriors just served up a playoff masterclass that’ll have Bay Area basketball fans screaming from the Mission to Marin. In a nail-biting Game 7 against the Houston Rockets, Buddy Hield and Stephen Curry transformed the hardwood into their personal playground, delivering a 103-89 beatdown that sent Houston packing.

Buddy Hield: The Unexpected Hero

Before Curry’s late-game heroics, Buddy Hield was the unexpected star, raining down nine 3-pointers and scoring a whopping 33 points. His first-half performance was so scorching, he single-handedly carried the Warriors to a 12-point lead, leaving Rockets fans in stunned silence.

Curry’s Clutch Comeback

Stephen Curry, never one to be outdone, erupted in the fourth quarter with 14 of his 22 points. His signature “night night” gesture became the perfect punctuation mark to Houston’s playoff elimination, proving once again why he’s basketball royalty in the Bay.

A Legacy of Dominance

This victory marks the Warriors’ fifth playoff elimination of the Rockets, continuing a rivalry that’s become Bay Area legend. With Jimmy Butler adding 20 points and the team looking strong, the Warriors are proving they’re not just back - they’re better than ever.

The road ahead leads to Minnesota, where the Warriors will face the Timberwolves. But after this performance? Houston better watch out - the Bay Area’s basketball dynasty is alive and kicking.
