Kings' Buddy Hield sets record in 41-point performance vs. Celtics

Share

The Boston Celtics got some revenge on the Sacramento Kings on Monday night, but Buddy Hield did everything he could to keep it from happening.

Once again, the C's simply had no answer for the Kings sharpshooter. Hield dropped 41 points (15-for-26 shooting) while drilling 11 3-pointers. That's the most 3s ever by a player in one game against Boston.

The previous high was nine 3s by Rockets star James Harden on Dec. 27 last season.

The Celtics also had issues defending Hield in their first matchup vs. the Kings earlier this month. In that game, which Sacramento won 100-99, the Oklahoma product had 31 points and hit seven shots from beyond the arc.

The final result was different this time around as the C's were able to edge out Hield and the Kings in another nailbiter, 103-102.
