The Hawks sent Tim Hardaway Jr. to the D-League earlier this week; he made his presence felt with a dominant performance on Tuesday.

Hardaway, for the Austin Spurs, shot 6-for-11 from the three-point line for 30 points in the victory. He was 11-for-17 in 25 minutes of action. Hardaway was also in the D-League earlier this month, with the Canton Charge. He seemed to appreciate the experience.

“It took a lot of weight off my shoulders on a positive note,” said Hardaway, via MyAJC.com. “There is no negativity. I knew what the objective was – to go down there and get some reps and help the Canton team out. I took it as an opportunity for myself to get better."
