Stat line: 32 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists on 57.1 % shooting

Buddy Hield has been the Sacramento Kings' best scorer this season and has been posting solid performances on a consistent basis. Even though the Kings entered this game on a three-game losing streak, Hield dominated in all those three losses.

Against the Warriors, it was the 26-year-old, once again, who went off and kept the Kings in the game until the end. He scored 32 points on 12-for-21 shooting, including red-hot 8-for-13 from behind the arc.

17 of his 32 points came in the fourth quarter, and even though he got outdueled by Curry, he showed what he is capable of doing even to the best of the teams. This was Hield's second game with 30 or more points this season. His highest-scoring game was against the Oklahoma City Thunder in a loss where he scored 37 points.
