“Yeah, I think my ankle is healing pretty well. » Tim Hardaway Jr. can smile. He finally started his playoffs, after a difficult start. He only scored 6 points in 22 minutes in the first two games against the Clippers, before missing the next four games because of his right ankle.
His return in Game 1 against the Thunder was hardly notable, with two points at 1/5 on the shoot in 17 minutes. Clearly, the back had not entered his playoffs, as if his poor end to the regular season continued.
Then, in this second round in Oklahoma City, the former Knicks found his way to the circle. First at mid-distance, then at 3-points, finishing with 17 points at 6/10 shooting in 19 minutes.
“Everyone thinks it will be Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic every game. This is why it is a team sport. We need big performances like that of PJ Washington. I'm happy to see he got shots in.”he slips in the face of his teammate's 29 points. “It was great. We needed him, at every point”adds PJ Washington. “He played with heart, on both ends of the field. »
“It was great to see Timmy do his match”
Same enthusiasm from Josh Green. “It was great to see Timmy do his match. Tim Hardaway Jr. is an incredible shooter and he did that in this game. We are 100% behind him. »
The shooter's performance perfectly compensated for Kyrie Irving's bad match in terms of scoring (9 points to 2/8 shooting) and Luka Doncic still in physical difficulty. If TIm Hardaway Jr. is at this level, the Mavericks will have a much better chance of winning this series.
“It was the same against the Clippers, they kicked our butts in the first game,” recalls the Dallas player. “We wanted to react in the second game and set the tone. We have a chance to play in a conference final in front of us, so we want to give everything to achieve it. »
