It looked rough after one quarter for the Golden State Warriors Tuesday night. Playing on TNT and missing the injured Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins, the Warriors fell behind by 17 points after one quarter to the New Orleans Pelicans. But after that, the Warriors turned up the defense and Reggie Miller fired up Buddy Hield to inspire Golden State to a 124-106 win.
Hield was the star with 28 points and seven three-pointers, including 19 points in the second quarter. He didn’t miss a shot after a halftime conversation with Miller, who uncomfortably refused to share what he told the Warriors’ new sharpshooter.
