With the NBA all-time 3-point leader Stephen Curry sidelined by a hamstring injury, the Warriors struggled to establish their long-range game.

Stephen Curry scored 14 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, Buddy Hield made nine 3-pointers and scored 33 points, and the Golden State Warriors advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with a 103-89 win over the Houston Rockets in Game 7 Sunday night.

Remember when Buddy Hield’s biggest playoff related thing was how he had played 600 games without making a postseason? I think those days are in the past.
