Bones Hyland’s blank stare belied the confidence pulsating through his skinny frame.
After Hyland buried his third 3-pointer within an 82-second span Friday night, Miami called a timeout to stem the fire. Hyland held his shooting stroke to burnish the bucket. He stared into the crowd, aware that his audacity had ignited them.124-119 comeback win over the Hea
Such is the case with a second-year guard who’s both teeming with potential and struggling through the growing pains of having added responsibility. On Wednesday, while Jamal Murray sat due to knee maintenance, Hyland got the invaluable experience of feeling fourth-quarter pressure against Sacramento.
Though the Nuggets folded once the Kings ratcheted their pressure up, Hyland finished with 20 points, 11 assists, and one turnover. But that level of intensity will only aid Hyland’s development come the postseason. Two nights later, he was the catalyst as Denver’s bench outscored Miami’s 50-44. When Hyland is knocking down 3-pointers or dicing apart defenses, he’s not only running his unit, but he’s buying invaluable time for the starters to rest. If the second unit — made up of Hyland, Bruce Brown, Vlatko Cancar, DeAndre Jordan and a staggered starter on Friday — can consistently produce, the Nuggets are almost impenetrable. That’s because rarely, if ever, will they lose the Nikola Jokic minutes.
