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.

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