With their backs against the wall, the Golden State Warriors got the job done. The Warriors were just one loss away from blowing a 3-1 lead against the Houston Rockets, but luckily, they took care of business on the road.

The Warriors were surprisingly led by sharpshooter Buddy Hield, who dropped 33 points on 12-15 shooting from the field and 9-11 from beyond the arc, putting together one of the best performances of his career on the biggest stage.

Superstar point guard Steph Curry started the game out slow, dropping just three first-half points, but he eventually picked things up.

Curry finished Sunday's win with 22 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks on 8-16 shooting from the field and 4-10 from beyond the arc. Curry became the first player in NBA history to reach these numbers in a Game 7, per Stathead.

Curry did not have his best offensive performance, but picked things up in the fourth quarter. In the final period, when the Warriors needed a spark the most, Curry dropped 14 points on 5-6 shooting from the field and 2-3 from three-point range.

NIGHT. NIGHT.
