Thompson's Rain of Threes: Mavericks Soar Past Nuggets
Dallas, TX - It was a night for history in the Lone Star State, as Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks took down the Denver Nuggets, fueled by a record-breaking performance from their sharpshooter, Tim Hardaway Jr.
Hardaway, known for his explosive scoring bursts, lit up the court with an unbelievable 11 three-pointers against the Nuggets. That's right, folks, eleven! This shattered the previous Mavericks franchise record of nine three-pointers, previously held by Dirk Nowitzki, the legend himself.
"I'm just trying to do my job," a humble Hardaway said after the game. "Coach trusts me to shoot, and I try to knock them down."
It's clear that Hardaway wasn't just "trying." He was absolutely on fire, and his performance was a big part of the Mavericks' victory. Doncic had another stellar game, but it was Hardaway's incredible night that truly stole the show.
Doncic finished the game with 24 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists, showcasing his usual all-around dominance. But, it was Hardaway's record-breaking performance that left everyone in awe.
The game was close for the first three quarters, but the Mavericks pulled away in the fourth. Hardaway's barrage of threes was the key to their success, as he kept the Nuggets at bay.
This is a night that Hardaway will never forget. He etched his name in the Mavericks' history books, and solidified himself as a key piece of their future success.
And hey, who knows? Maybe this record will stand for years to come, just like Dirk's old record.
Keep your eyes peeled for more fireworks from Hardaway, and get ready for an exciting season from the Dallas Mavericks!
