With Stephen Curry limited to just 13 minutes on Tuesday due to a hamstring injury, Hield stepped up once again. He scored a game-high 24 points on 5-of-8 three-point shooting in 40 minutes to lead Golden State to a 99-88 victory.

Jimmy Butler and Buddy Hield have quickly built one of the most entertaining friendships in the NBA. Since Butler’s arrival with the Golden State Warriors, the two have developed a bond that’s as strong off the court as their chemistry is on it.

Buddy Hield had an awkward moment early in the Warriors' Game 1 win over the Timberwolves as he was seen wearing the wrong shorts and had to be pulled from court in a move that led to the Warriors being assessed an early timeout.
