In the second quarter, Hield was still a potent weapon, finishing the half with the same 16 points on 6-for-6 shooting, 4 for 4 from three-point range that he and Curry had combined for in the first.

Less than five minutes into the third quarter, the Warriors had already made twenty 3-pointers, and that was before the Kings had even tried twenty.

With Hield (6), Jonathan Kuminga (4), and De'Anthony Melton (4) each making at least four triples, the Dubs finished with a total of 28 made threes.
