The younger Tim Hardaway has at least thought about the lineage before visiting the Garden as a playoff opponent.

The Detroit Pistons were down 1 in the final seconds, and the ball rolled to a waiting Tim Hardaway Jr. for a final shot. A shot, the referees said after the game, that should have resulted in three free throws. Instead, no whistle was called and the Pistons lost the game to the New York Knicks 94-93.
