MIAMI — Tim Hardaway Jr. is well on pace for a career season. As the No. 1 option for the first time in his career, the Knicks’ 26-year-old shooting guard is averaging 27 points on 41.8 percent shooting through four games.
Nevertheless, he wishes the wins had risen along with his scoring. After a 1-3 start, the Knicks face the Heat on Wednesday in a homecoming of sorts for Hardaway, who grew up here as his father starred for the franchise.
All three of the Knicks’ losses have come down to the final 1:30 — two on the last possession.
