Buddy Hield got absolutely posterized by Sacramento Kings’ Dylan Cardwell on Friday night during the Golden State Warriors’ 137-103 blowout victory. However, the craziest story unfolded on Warriors bench, and Jimmy Butler led that moment when the Kings’ big man threw down a vicious dunk over the Warriors sharpshooter.

The sequence started with Kings guard Nique Clifford charging toward the rim, but Trayce Jackson-Davis somehow blocked his shot. However, that single blocking attempt was not enough.
It fell near the rim, and Sacramento’s 6-foot-11 center, Dylan Cardwell, grabbed it and dunked right over Hield. The Warriors’ small forward was too late to stop the putback, and Cardwell’s jump attempt landed on the Hield so awkwardly that he lost his balance.

Curry sat right next to Butler during the hilarious but embarrassing sequence for Hield. The two-time MVP witnessed the entire poster job. His reaction? Almost as good as Butler’s, just more discreet.
Curry buried his face behind a white towel the moment Cardwell finished the dunk. His shoulders shook with laughter. The chef tried hiding his laugh from the cameras but failed miserably. Everyone could see him cracking up behind that towel.
Hield played just four minutes against Sacramento and finished with six points, three rebounds, and one assist. His limited role made the poster dunk sting even more.
