Hardaway’s revenge

The demise of Tim Hardaway Jr. has been grossly exaggerated. The fourth-year shooting guard led New York in scoring with 26 points on 10-of-20 shooting. He made four three-pointers, and also pulled down seven rebounds.

This is significant because the last time Milwaukee and New York faced off, Giannis emphatically finished an alley-opp from Khris Middleton while jumping over Hardaway Jr. It was amazing, check out the highlight:

Some said that this marked the spiritual, if not literal, end of Hardaway Jr. Those people were wrong, as evidenced by the exploits of the young gunner against Milwaukee on Friday evening.
