MEMPHIS – What Jaden Hardy accomplished this past Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers is what he hopes to accomplish Monday night when the Dallas Mavericks face the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum.
Hardy tallied 17 points on 6-of-11 shots against the Cavs. The Mavs’ third-year guard also was 2-of-4 on three-pointers, and contributed three rebounds and three assists with only one turnover in 25 minutes.
It was the second-best scoring game of the season for Hardy, who poured in a season-high 23 points on Nov. 25 during the 129-119 road win over the Atlanta Hawks.
