With Warriors star Steph Curry sidelined with an ankle injury, Golden State needed somebody else to step up offensively. Enter veteran Buddy Hield, who has been more than capable of being a microwave scorer over the course of his career. On Tuesday night, he had his most impactful game yet in his short Warriors tenure.

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is perhaps the most famous example, but his new teammate Buddy Hield is afforded the same level of freedom by head coach Steve Kerr. Even so, confidence can waver for the most dangerous of sharpshooters,

In a recent post-game interview, Buddy Hield revealed that a private conversation with Reggie Miller helped him perform well.

Buddy Hield had an excellent performance with 28 points, one rebound, one assist and two steals while shooting 9/18 from the field and 7/11 from the three-point range in 29 minutes of playing time. Many NBA fans reacted to Hield's big night.
