The familiar sideline chemistry of the Golden State Warriors surfaced again on Friday night. As the Warriors blew out the Sacramento Kings in a 137-103 win, cameras caught Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry calmly watching from the bench while Buddy Hield handled the moment on the floor. Seconds later, Hield slipped up, and the scene quietly captured the leadership and trust shaping Golden State’s late-game edge.

Nique Clifford charged in for a layup, but missed it thanks to Trayce Jackson-Davis’ defense. But soon, Kings center Dylan Cardwell barged in. Buddy Hield, in a moment of desperation, hoped to deflect the shot. But guess what? He got dunked on! The focus shifted towards the Warriors’ bench, where Jimmy Butler lost it.

It looked like he could fall off the chair anytime. Meanwhile, Steph Curry, who was sitting beside the superstar forward, was “kind enough” to hide his face behind the white towel and laugh. NBC Authentic shared the clip on their Instagram page with the caption, “Buddy Hield’s biggest hater 😂.”

Earlier this season, the iconic duo of Buddy and Jimmy gave the Dub Nation another hilarious moment. During their 113-121 loss against the Orlando Magic, the players faced a moment of miscommunication.

Hield’s mistimed cut ended in a loose pass and a quick Desmond Bane layup the other way. During the next stoppage, Butler looked at him and fired off a dry one-liner, “I’m never passing you the ball again.”

Now, coming to the game, the Golden State Warriors took a 137-103 win on their home court vs. the Sacramento Kings. Stephen Curry had a double-double night with 27 points and 10 assists. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler ended the day with 15-6-6. On the other hand, Buddy Hield, who played for only 4 minutes, had 6 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist to contribute to the Dubs’ win.

How often do you find a duo like Jimmy Butler and Buddy Hield? Their chemistry clicked when the former moved to the Bay after getting traded from the Miami Heat. And the rest feels like history in the making.

The Warriors are witnessing a rare moment with Jimmy Butler and Buddy Hield

Friendship is a precious virtue. And Golden State is witnessing it through the eyes of Jimmy Butler and Buddy Hield. Do you remember the time when the Warriors destroyed the Houston Rockets in Game 7 of the first round the 2025 playoffs? Buddy Hield had an insane 33-point run. He was speaking with the media during the post-game presser. But soon, Jimmy appeared.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the shooting guard with the mic pressed on his lips said, “Jimmy Butler, everybody.” But, well, he didn’t stop there.

Hield got off his chair, thumped his feet thrice, and declared the presence of his dear friend: “J-I-M-M-Y B-U-T-L-E-R.” For the crowd, this banter was a moment to be cherished. And for the fans, this moment was to be savored because such things don’t happen twice.
