“He’s playing well, he’s being a leader out there on the floor,” Hardaway Sr. said. “He’s helping these young guys understand how to play and trying to win late games.”

He was just 5-of-15 from the field but made it up by shooting a perfect 7-of-7 from the free throw line. Teammate Allonzo Trier led the team with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists.
