Hardaway had 25 points (9-15 FG, 7-11 3-pointers, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes off the bench in Thursday’s 107-103 win over Brooklyn.
The seven 3-pointers were tied for the most this season and marked the fourth time in 14 games in January that Hardaway has scored at least 25 points as he continues to anchor an injured Denver team’s second unit. The veteran forward is averaging 16.0 points, 3.3 threes, 2.9 boards and 1.6 assists in 28.9 minutes this month.
