The Golden State Warriors just pulled off a playoff miracle that nobody saw coming, and we’re here for all the drama. In a nail-biting Game 7 against the Houston Rockets, Buddy Hield transformed from bench warmer to absolute legend, dropping a jaw-dropping 33 points that sent the Rockets packing.

The Unexpected Savior

Steph Curry started the game ice-cold, scoring absolutely nothing in the first half. Enter Buddy Hield, the Warriors’ secret weapon who decided this was his moment to shine. With nine three-pointers that tied the all-time Game 7 record, Hield basically told the basketball universe: “Watch me work”.

Coach Kerr’s Gamble Pays Off

Coach Steve Kerr’s decision to start Hield over Jonathan Kuminga looked like a wild roll of the dice. Kuminga played a mere seven minutes and didn’t score a single point. But Hield? He turned that court into his personal playground, launching 42-foot desperation shots that had fans losing their minds.

Curry’s Crowning Moment

As the game progressed, Curry predictably exploded, eventually scoring 22 points. His dagger three-pointer in the fourth quarter, coupled with Hield’s epic performance, sealed a 103-89 victory that sent the Warriors surging into the Western Conference Semifinals.

Next up: A showdown with the Minnesota Timberwolves, where the Warriors will battle on the road. One thing’s certain - after this performance, nobody’s counting out the Warriors just yet.
