What was Tim Hardaway Jr.'s role in the game?

What impact did Michael Porter Jr. have in his return to Ball Arena?
Superstar Debs with us. Yeah, I mean, it was a good game. It was a fun game, and we learned a lot about this team. It was also a grinded-out game, and those are my favorite. Yeah. Really? No, I like blowouts.
Blowouts, shootouts, those are all so fun. Later on in the show, Brennan Vogt will be joining us on the Xfinity mobile call-in line.
What insights did the hosts share about the Nuggets' overall performance?
But first, Nuggets get the win. Let's go to a fast breakdown so we can relive this one together, shall we? Yes, let's do it. First note, kind of tells the story. Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray duel right off the bat. The beginning of this game was just those two guys making tough shots. It was awesome. Spencer Jones, how'd he do in this game? Well, he had two fouls in two minutes.
What are the implications of this win for the Nuggets moving forward?
He checked out of the game very quickly.
That told the story of his game.
Here's another story that told the story of the game. Tim Hardaway Jr. on fire. Three threes in the first quarter and some tough buckets. He was doing everything. But the Nuggets couldn't clear the glass in that first quarter. If you guys remember, man, they could not get a rebound. It was 30-26 Nuggets after one second quarter. Nuggets had a nice run, opened up a little bit of a lead. And Tim Hardaway Jr. still on fire. I don't know how many minutes he played in a row in that first stint because he played in the first quarter early because of Spencer Jones. And then he was on fire, so they just let him cook. He was unbelievable in that first half. 14-0 run, mostly Tim Hardaway Jr. And he had one pull-up from the logo tonight, just like early in the shot clock.
He's like, you know what? I'm on fire. Why not? Why not? And it was unbelievable. At the half, the Nuggets are up 64-49. But in the third quarter, the Nets got off to a 16-4 start, and Michael Porter Jr. was a big part of it. He, too, was on fire. The Nets tied it up in that third quarter. So 15-point lead, blown. P. Watt had some tough finishes. When things got stale, P. Watt had a little run there in that end of that third quarter that stabilized things. And then on the last play, Julian Strother had a steal and a last-second bugget. It actually proved to be huge. Nuggets had the lead still 79-76. Fourth quarter. Bruce hit a three in the corner, and it kind of felt big because Denver started to really struggle to score.
If it weren't for Tim Hardaway Jr., maybe they would have struggled all night. He was hitting some big shots, but once that went away for a little bit, you needed someone else. Bruce was the guy in the fourth. Hits the three. He had two tough buckets inside. He was screaming at the bench. He was doing everything. And Big Val was drawing fouls. Nuggets in the bonus with 8 minutes and 43 seconds left. Michael Porter Jr., let's go to the clutch here. Michael Porter Jr. picks off a pass from Jamal and goes coast to coast. Murray comes down and tries to iso two times in a row. Bricks them both really bad. They were like ugly isos. And as we approach clutch time, it felt like MPJ had doubled up Jamal Murray 36 to 18 at that point.
And Murray did not have anything going at all. And you're like, oh, my God, does he not have it tonight? Nets took the lead with four minutes and 33 seconds left. There's a timeout.
