Golden State’s Draymond Green spent the last two days embarrassed after losing his poise early in a Game 6 loss to the Houston Rockets.

The Golden State Warriors advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals with a 103-89 victory over the scrappy Houston Rockets.

But mostly, Buddy Hield played the game of his professional life. Hield poured in six 3-pointers en route to 22 first-half points, accounting for nearly 50% of Golden State's offense through the first two quarters and what could only be described as a sigh-of-relief halftime margin.

It's No. 6 Minnesota against No. 7 Golden State in the Western Conference semifinals. Both were lower-seeded in their Round 1 matchups, and both won closeout games on the road to get to Round 2.

On Wednesday, the No. 6 seed Minnesota Timberwolves pulled off an upset by eliminating the No. 3 seed Los Angeles Lakers in a Game 5 win. Saturday, the No. 4 seed Denver Nuggets beat the No. 5 seed LA Clippers in a Game 7 showdown to advance to the second round,
