Warriors Advance to Round 2: Steph, Buddy, and Playoff Magic Are Back!

Letโ€™s GO, Dub Nation! The Golden State Warriors are MOVING ON after a statement Game 7 win over the Houston Rockets, and itโ€™s time to celebrate like itโ€™s 2015 all over again!

With their backs against the wall, Stephen Curry and Buddy Hield delivered an absolute masterclass, taking the Warriors to a 103-89 win and punching their ticket to the Western Conference Semifinals.

This wasnโ€™t just a win. It was a reminder.

A reminder that when itโ€™s win-or-go-home, Golden State doesnโ€™t just survive โ€” we dominate.


Buddy Buckets Is the New Splash Brother

Letโ€™s talk about the real MVP of Game 7: Buddy Hield.

The sharp-shooting guard went 9-of-11 from deep, putting on a Game 7 shooting clinic that the Rockets had no answer for.

He finished with 33 points, hitting six threes in the first half alone and keeping the Warriors ahead by double digits while Curry patiently waited to take over.

โ€œThis is what I came to Golden State for,โ€ Hield said postgame. โ€œBig games. Big moments. Big wins.โ€

Well, Buddy โ€” you delivered. And the NBA better take notice: thereโ€™s a new Splash Brother in town.


Steph Does What Steph Does โ€” Closes Like a Killer

After scoring just three points in the first half, some people were starting to whisper.

Was Steph off? Was he tired?

LOL. No.

Curry erupted in the fourth quarter with 14 of his 22 points, taking over when it mattered most, draining clutch shots, and finishing the Rockets with his signature โ€œnight nightโ€ celebration as Houstonโ€™s hopes collapsed.

Heโ€™s been here before. He knows how this goes. And once again, he reminded the world: this is still his league.

โ€œI knew the shots would fall,โ€ Steph said. โ€œWe just needed to stay composed.โ€


History Made: Game 7 Greatness

Buddy Hieldโ€™s 9 threes werenโ€™t just impressive โ€” they were historic.

He now holds the NBA record for most three-pointers made in a Game 7, single-handedly outshooting the entire Rockets team, who went just 6-of-18 from beyond the arc.

Thatโ€™s right โ€” Buddy hit more threes than the ENTIRE Rockets roster. Let that sink in.


Houston? Weโ€™ve Sent You Home. Again.

For the fifth time, the Golden State Warriors have eliminated the Houston Rockets from the playoffs.

Remember those epic battles with Harden from 2015 to 2019? This was the encore.

Even without Harden, the result was the same: Rockets out. Warriors rolling.

Houston had clawed their way back into the series with two straight wins, forcing Game 7 โ€” but in the end, they couldnโ€™t keep up with championship DNA.


Amen Thompson Fights, But Itโ€™s Not Enough

Props to Rockets rookie Amen Thompson, who scored 24 points and showed flashes of future greatness.

He gave it everything, but in the second half, the Warriorsโ€™ defensive pressure, veteran savvy, and crowd momentum simply overwhelmed the young Rockets squad.

โ€œTheyโ€™ve got rings for a reason,โ€ Thompson said after the game.

Darn right we do.


Next Up: Timberwolves and Anthony Edwards

Get ready for fireworks. The Warriors now face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Semifinals โ€” and the hype is already out of control.

Why?

Because weโ€™re getting Stephen Curry vs. Anthony Edwards, a clash of generations, styles, and star power.

  • Can Edwards rise to the moment?
  • Or will Steph show him what real playoff greatness looks like?

Game 1 is Tuesday night in Minnesota. And Dub Nation is ready to bring the noise.


Warriors Make Playoff History as 7th Seed

Golden State becomes just the seventh No. 7 seed in NBA history to reach the second round.

Thatโ€™s not luck. Thatโ€™s culture.

And thatโ€™s what happens when youโ€™ve got:

  • The best shooter ever
  • A deep bench
  • Championship chemistry
  • And a rising star like Buddy Hield catching fire at the perfect time

Game 7 Breakdown: Stats to Remember

  • Stephen Curry: 22 points (14 in the 4th), 6 assists, 4 rebounds
  • Buddy Hield: 33 points, 9-of-11 from 3, pure chaos
  • Klay Thompson: Quiet night, but key defensive moments
  • Draymond Green: 9 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals, classic Dray dogfight
  • Amen Thompson: 24 points, 6 rebounds for Houston
  • Final Score: 103-89 Warriors

Golden Stateโ€™s Playoff Push Is Alive and Dangerous

With Game 7 pressure off, the Warriors now move into Round 2 with momentum, confidence, and a clear message:

We are not done yet.

  • Steph is still Steph
  • Buddy is blazing hot
  • Draymondโ€™s leading the defense
  • And Klay and Wiggins are ready to snap out of their slumps

The NBA better wake up. Because the Warriors? Weโ€™re just getting started.


Warriors Advance to Round 2 โ€” And Weโ€™re Coming for More

Say it with us, Warriors fans:

WE. ARE. BACK.

The Warriors advance to Round 2 in dramatic, electric, glorious fashion โ€” and now, the Timberwolves are next on the chopping block.

Steph is still magical. Buddy is rewriting records. And Dub Nation is louder than ever.

Get ready, NBA.

Because the Golden State Warriors just reminded you what greatness looks like โ€” and weโ€™re not going anywhere.
