Tim Hardaway Jr. matched the franchise record with a career-high 10 3-pointers as part of a 36-point effort to help the Dallas Mavericks rally for a 127-113 victory over the host Miami Heat on Tuesday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hardaway matched his career high of nine 3-pointers by knocking one down to make it 112-89 with 7:39 left.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall, Hardaway scored 18 points during a stanza that concluded with the Mavericks up 98-77.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All of the momentum was in the Heat’s favor in the opening period. Miami scored a game-high 39 points while converting a staggering 8-of-9 (88.9%) from deep. In fact, they even managed to jump out to a 14-3 lead at the 9:43 mark.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mavericks’ execution offensively was very strong in the first quarter but they just couldn’t get stops. Dallas put up 30 points while going 60% from the field and 42.9% from deep but still found themselves trailing 39-30.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The circumstances dramatically changed before halftime as the Mavericks became hot from deep while the Heat sorely struggled. Dallas went 7-of-16 (43.8%) on their perimeter attempts while Miami was limited to 1-of-11 (9.1%) on their looks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using their blistering hot perimeter shooting in the second period, the Mavericks’ 33 points while the Heat were contained to 15. Dallas managed to build a 63-54 lead at the half despite by double-figures in the early stages of the contest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim Hardaway Jr. was the leading scorer for the Mavericks in the second period with 9 points, but he raised his game further after the half. He contributed over half of Dallas’s points during the third quarter with 18 during this stretch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Hardaway Jr. elevating his game to such a high level in the third quarter, the Mavericks managed to outscore the Heat by double-figures in consecutive quarters. Dallas gained a 98-77 lead entering the final period as a result.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHardaway\u2019s had a terrific year,\u201d Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. \u201cHe\u2019s been the ultimate team guy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s had a terrific year and I know that playing in Miami is something that\u2019s important to him. I know it\u2019s special when you go back home”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The game was essentially too far out of reach for the Heat to mount a legitimate comeback effort in the final period. This served as an opportunity for Hardaway Jr. to convert on a couple more three-pointers – helping him to tie the Mavericks’ single-game record with 10 on the night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have been hot like that, had it going, you\u2019re not really focused on any records or anything like that,\u201d Hardaway said. \u201cThe game was just coming to me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Josh Green provided momentum-changing contributions off-the-bench in 24 minutes. He may have provided just 4 points but also added 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals all-the-while making key hustle plays that didn’t show up in the box score.<\/strong><\/p>\n
