Again very effective tonight once morest denver, Tim Hardaway Jr. has confirmed his very good form in recent games. And the Mavs are doing better right away. Luka Doncic no longer has to row alone in the void, THJ’s success opens up space for the buddies and Dallas starts winning once more.
Basketball is easier when you don’t play one once morest five. We can bet on the fact that Luka Doncic will not contradict this take. If the Slovenian runs at an MVP level, posting one of the scariest stat lines of the last ten years, Dallas is struggling to win. However, the Mavs were off to a good start at the start of the season, led by the series of 9 consecutive games at 30 points minimum from their star to start the 2022-23 fiscal year. But from the first inevitable signs of fatigue from Luka Magic, the Texans faltered, recording a tough 3-7 between November 9 and 27.
The click came to Dallas when they received the Warriors on November 29, and the Mavericks have since started a great series of four wins in five games. The latest victim? The poor Nuggets, and despite Doncic’s 52nd career triple-double (already?), it was Tim Hardaway Jr. who stole the show from everyone. Best scorer of the match last night with 29 pawns on the truffle of Bruce Brown and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, friend THJ was hot from a distance, sending 6 bombinettes from the parking lot in just 8 attempts.

Reinstated in the starting lineup for Dallas since the end of November, Timmy has since found his colors, and even joins the closed circle of players who have scored at least 5 award-winning shots in 5 consecutive games. THJ actually displays an insane percentage behind the arc: 30/55, or 54.5% for 11 attempts per game, with an average of points reaching 24.4 over the period. The sample is obviously too light to even attempt to draw any broader conclusions, but it seems clear that their swingman’s impressive achievement has given the Mavs a real boost to get the team going once more.
“It matters a lot [de faire partie des joueurs ayant marqué 5 tirs à 3-points dans 5 matchs de suite, ndlr.]. I just keep working, working on my game, but the most important thing is to have the confidence of my teammates who are trying to find me.

The return of sunny days in Dallas? Too early to tell, as the Mavs are still 7th in the West right now. But if it continues, the Texans will soon be able to talk regarding the new Run TLC (Tim-Luka-Christian)…
Tim Hardaway Jr. has become only the 10th player in @NBA history to connect on 5+ 3FG in 5 consecutive games.
