Momentum is definitely a thing in sports.
There has been some research done that suggests there may be some quantifiable effect of momentum in football.
But other types of momentum, like the hot hand in the NBA or something, is patently false.

The science is certainly mixed overall. To definitively say that it is a thing isn't proven. And it certainly is WAY overblown.

Confidence is a big part of shooting. I feel the same way about golf. If you have confidence, you're more likely to succeed on any given shot.
If you've had 5 great shots in a row, confidence is high, thus more likely to succeed.
Maybe people just conflate confidence with momentum.
