Jaden Hardy's impressive shooting performance propelled the Dallas Mavericks to a crucial 101-92 victory over the Orlando Magic. The third-year guard showcased his skill by sinking five 3-pointers, including a pivotal shot that sparked a 20-2 run in the third quarter. Hardy, who has faced injury setbacks this season, expressed confidence in his rhythm and attributed his success to strong team support. Coach Jason Kidd acknowledged Hardy's scoring potential and the impact of his previous injuries on his consistency. As the Mavericks push for a spot in the Play-In tournament, Hardy's role becomes increasingly vital, especially with Brandon Williams nearing the end of his two-way contract.
