Why the Kings’ latest victory is one Buddy Hield will ‘cherish the rest of my life’

The Kings had taken their final timeout. They trailed by one point with 3.4 seconds to go.

Bogdan Bogdanovic inbounded the ball to Buddy Hield, who was immediately swarmed by three defenders. The ball wasn’t caught cleanly, but he was able to corral it, spin free and put up a shot off his left leg.

All net, red light, ballgame.

As Hield sprinted around the court and off to the locker room, the call was confirmed by the officials. His seventh 3-pointer of the night gave him 35 points and gave the Kings a 103-101 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night at Little Caesars Arena.
