In sports or games of chance the hot hand can be argued. Someone goes on a streak, it's mostly physical (and some psychological?) and chance But when you're creating, even in spurts, that is not a "hot hand" you're in a creative groove, whatever, but it's not a hot hand. Also hot hands happen over a very short period of time, whereas times of maximum creative output can last years, decades. Players don't go on a streak lasting more than a few games --sometimes only minutes in basketball or hockey.
At least intuitively they seem to be very different things.
