Pacers' Buddy Hield hits 3-pointer 3 seconds into game

Buddy Hield loves shooting 3-pointers. He came into Thursday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers with the most in the league this season (132) while hitting 41.9% from long range.

But who could have been ready for this? Cleveland's Jarrett Allen tapped the opening jump ball right to Hield, who turned and made a 3. It took about 3 seconds.

And Hield kept hitting. He went 5-of-6 from long range on the way to 25 points in Indiana's 135-126 win.

That's the fastest 3 to start a game in the NBA's play-by-play era, which began in 1996. Pacers legend Reggie Miller made a 3-pointer 4 seconds into a game in 2000.
