Buddy Hield crashes interview with Butler after Clippers blowout
The NBA has seen many close friendships and brotherhoods develop between teammates, and the same has undoubtedly happened with the likes of Buddy Hield and Jimmy Butler. The two stars of the Golden State Warriors weren’t just an integral reason behind their impressive 4-1 start to the NBA season, they’re also looking like they’re having a gala time doing it.
Hield, in particular, made a regular habit of tearing down the former Miami Heat star’s post-game interviews, and the same thing happened following the Warriors’ 98-79 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
This time, however, Butler stopped his buddy before he could crash the interview.
“No, man, no,” he said in a video posted to X by an NBA official.
“They want to talk to you? You didn’t do anything today,” Hield said before walking away, leaving both the interviewer and Butler grinning.
That may have been a little true considering Butler finished with a Warriors-best 21 points, five assists and five rebounds on 9-12 shooting. The Warriors came back from a three-point deficit in the first half despite having an eight-point lead in the first.
However, the Warriors then went on a 32-14 third quarter run to take the game away. Butler hit a key 3-pointer late in the third quarter that helped spark a 10-2 run to open the fourth.
Stephen Curry scored 19 points and dished out eight assists, going 7-for-15 from the floor. Brandin Podziemski followed up his 23-point night against Memphis with 12 points off the bench and helped keep the Warriors within striking distance before taking over in the third quarter.
Quinten Post scored 12 points with four 3-pointers and grabbed eight rebounds. For the Clippers, James Harden scored the best with 20 points, all of which came in the first half.
LA shot a cool 30-of-82 overall (36.6%) and a brutal 6-of-33 from three-point range, ultimately handing the game to Golden State.
