Hardaway Jr. finished with ten points in the first quarter. That was only the beginning, though. He scored 14 in the first half.

THJ doubled his scoring total in the third quarter. It was a fantastic display. The Mavs scored 34 points and were blazing hot. Here is a monster dunk from Hardaway Jr. to put an exclamation on his massive quarter.

The 27-year-old guard played a fantastic game. His 33 points on 18 field goal attempts were impressive. Hardaway Jr. showed off all his offensive skills. He was getting to the basket and nailing his 3-pointers.

The Mavs PR tweeted THJ made a bit of personal history on Monday night too.

#Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. finished with a game-high 33 points (12-18 FGs) to go with 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

His 33 points are the most he has recorded in a Dallas uniform, and helped him pass the 6,000-point threshold for his career. pic.twitter.com/QwAr9QNp1h

It has been fantastic to see Hardaway Jr. and Porzingis stepping up with Luka on the shelf. The Mavs have needed more from their second and third-leading scorers, and the two former Knicks have delivered it.

The question is, can both men keep it going when Doncic returns? The hot shooting would be a nice addition to Luka’s immense offensive skill set.
