Tim Hardaway Jr. pieced together a memorable season for the New York Knicks in 2017-18. What were the five best performances from his return season?

The New York Knicks are coming off of a season during which optimism was difficult to come by. Injuries and inconsistency defined the 2017-18 campaign, as the Knicks lost both of their top two scorers for upwards of 20 games.

While most only discussed his play when it was underwhelming, one of the few bright spots from the 2017-18 regular season was the emergence of Tim Hardaway Jr.

Hardaway overcame a stress fracture in his lower left leg to produce a career-year. The 26-year-old set career-highs in points (17.5), rebounds (3.9), assists (2.7), steals (1.1), and three-point field goals made (2.3) per game.

Despite playing out of position and through injuries that cost him 25 games, Hardaway ranked No. 17 amongst small forwards in Real Plus-Minus.

There were no shortage of memorable performances from Hardaway’s first season back in New York, including a number of showings that displayed star potential. It was a generally successful season, even if some don’t want to admit it.

The question is: What were the best performances that New York Knicks shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. put forth during the 2017-18 NBA regular season?
