The Golden State Warriors will return home to The Bay with a 1-0 record after their season opening win against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. In the victory, Buddy Hield reminded everyone just how different this team can look when he is knocking down his shots and being a major contributor offensively.
Hield finished the game at Crypto.com Arena with 17 points, the most of anyone off the bench. In just 22 minutes, he went 6-for-11 from the floor and made five of his 10 three-point attempts. He was a clear-cut secondary scoring option in this one, tying Jonathan Kuminga for the third-highest scoring mark of any player on the roster.
