Buddy Hield of Pacers gets hot, and Los Angeles Lakers fans notice
Buddy Hield came out hot for the Indiana Pacers against the Washington Wizards on Friday night.
He hit 4 of his first 5 3-point attempts as the Pacers had, by far, their best first quarter of the season, leading 36-28. They led 30-15 after Hield's fourth 3 with 4:01 to go.
Hield finished 5-of-9 on 3s on the way to 25 points in the Pacers' 127-117 win.
Hield is part of a much talked-about potential trade between the Pacers and Los Angeles Lakers. In many scenarios, he and Myles Turner would head to L.A. for Russell Westbrook and two future first-round NBA Draft picks.
Here's Hield doing what he does, and Twitter reaction directed toward the Lakers.

There is no way Pelinka is watching Buddy Hield right now and saying “Kurt, let’s wait and see how Pat Beverly works out.” I refuse to believe that.
