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.

But mostly, Buddy Hield played the game of his professional life. Hield poured in six 3-pointers en route to 22 first-half points, accounting for nearly 50% of Golden State's offense through the first two quarters and what could only be described as a sigh-of-relief halftime margin.
