Channeling the memories of his childhood hero, Hield poured in a career-high 42 points to rally the Sacramento Kings from a 27-point deficit to a 133-129 overtime victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. “That’s the reason I wanted to play in the NBA, because of Kobe,” Hield said. That was after Hield shot the Kings back into the game. “I can’t wait until I have a son and tell my son about this game,” Hield said. It was the first time that three Timberwolves have scored 20 or more points in a game since Dec. 13.
