Tim Hardaway Jr. can’t miss. He just scored 32 points against the Wizards in just the first half of the game. He made one of his first two shots and looked like he couldn’t hit water from a boat. After that? He hit 11 straight shots, including five straight threes.
Tim Hardaway Jr. could not miss to start against the Wizards and then missed everything in the second half
We were wrong. There was no 60.

Sometimes as a shooter, you’ve just got to keep shooting to find your rhythm. And, apparently, Hardaway found his rhythm in the most major way possible.
Before facing the Wizards on Wednesday, the Knicks’ shooting guard seemed like he couldn’t make a shot. Over his last seven games, he was shooting 25 percent from the field and 11 percent from three-point range.
Yet here we are at the half and he looks like Stephen Curry. He did it from deep, inside the paint, and everywhere in between.
He was even out here catching pristine lob passes from Jarrett Jack. Stunting.
Sometimes, you’re just hot. But this is more than hot. Hardaway is literally throwing everything up at the rim and it’s falling. He’s only missed twice all game.
All that’s missing is for him to bust out this shimmy. Then our night is complete.
The Wizards better watch out, man. It feels like 60 is on the way.
Well, ACTUALLY. Hardaway only finished with 37 points in the game and the Knicks ended up blowing a 27 point lead in Knicks fashion. He only scored five points in the second half and had his shot blocked four times with a few of them coming from Bradley Beal.
Beal, who dropped 36 points himself, said he personally told Hardaway he was going to shut him down in the second half.
WELP.
