With the NBA all-time 3-point leader Stephen Curry sidelined by a hamstring injury, the Warriors struggled to establish their long-range game.

The Warriors entered the locker room up 51-39, mostly thanks to 22 points from a red-hot Hield. With the Rockets successfully stifling Batman (Curry) and Robin (Jimmy Butler III), Alfred knocked down six of his seven 3-point attempts before intermission.

Golden State Warriors standout guard Buddy Hield channeled his inner Wallace and Gromit and wore the wrong trousers during Game 1 of his team's second-round NBA playoff game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
