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.

Following the game, Buddy Hield surprisingly shifted the blame for the jersey mishap of his jersey during Game 2 to Jimmy Butler.
