Hardaway's huge dunk caps 23-point 4th quarter

Brett Davis / USA TODAY Sports

Tim Hardaway led the Atlanta Hawks to an incredible comeback Thursday against the Houston Rockets, helping to erase a 20-point deficit in the final nine minutes to steal a 113-108 win on the road.

Hardaway scored 23 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Rockets 23-14 by himself over the final 8:41. Most of those points came on jump shots, but his final two were seriously loud. With the Hawks up by a point and just over 40 seconds to play, Hardaway iced the improbable victory with this monstrous driving dunk on Clint Capela.

Capela was so shook, he immediately threw the ball away on the inbounds pass, effectively torpedoing the Rockets' hopes of salvaging the game.
