Means nothing. Get a thousand people to toss a coin 20 times in a row. Repeat 82 times each. Someone probably throws 20 heads in a row. Monte Carlo sim it.

That model I've just described does not disprove the hot hand. It does show that an occasion of a good shooting run also is not evidence that it exists.
