It's the third-year guard's best scoring effort since he hung 21 points on the Cavaliers back on Feb. 2. An ankle sprain has cost Hardy five of the Mavs' 11 games since then, but he looked fully recovered Saturday as he drained at least four treys for the first time since Jan. 15. If he can stay healthy, Hardy could carve out a significant role in a Dallas backcourt that hasn't been getting consistent production from anyone except Kyrie Irving.
