The New Orleans Pelicans dropped a tough one against the Miami Heat early this afternoon 81-77. During a three minute span in the fourth quarter it felt like Buddy Hield was going to author his signature summer league moment. Hield got started with a trip to the foul line and kept cooking driving to the basket. (More on that later.) Then he buried a deep 3-pointer out of the pick and roll, the exact kind of highlight Pelican fans are craving from the sixth pick. A floater in the lane gave him nine straight points, a total of 16 on the game.
