NBA: Dante Exum has hit 4 from 4 from downtown as the Dallas Mavericks secure a much needed win against San Antonio Spurs to help avoid the play-in tournament.
Dante Exum on the money from downtown | 01:05Dante Exum came up clutch to make two crucial free throws and a pair of 3-pointers to help the Dallas Mavericks to a 113-107 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday afternoon.
But even if Exum didn’t start on Wednesday the Mavericks coaching staff clearly trusted him, keeping the versatile guard on the floor down the stretch and he repaid the faith. Kyrie Irving, meanwhile, started the game 7-for-7 from the field and finished with 28 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals.
“Exum has missed some time this year... but he’s not afraid of taking big shots,” former NBA point guard Derek Harper said in commentary for Bally Sports Southwest. “He’s a quiet type of a personality but when he’s on the floor he’s just comfortable and I think he gives his coach a sense of comfort when he’s out there. He’s kind of like a coach out on the floor.”“Super high IQ player, unquestionably,” added fellow commentator Mark Followill.
