With Steph Curry uncharacteristically quiet in the first half of Game 7 contest against the Houston Rockets, another sharpshooter stepped up got the Golden State Warriors. In the first half against the Rockets, Buddy Hield caught fire in Game 7 on Sunday.

The Golden State Warriors advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals with a 103-89 victory over the scrappy Houston Rockets.

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.
