Dante Exum · For nine-and-a-half-point underdogs hoping to secure upsets against top-tier teams, it certainly wouldn't be an understatement to say that every bucket matters. Firmly established in his reputation for providing timely scores for the Dallas Mavericks, Dante Exum gets started on a new example, inbounding the basketball to a teammate, all the while stealthily remaining within his line of sight. Prepared to launch with the basketball hot-potatoing his way, and under a second to get into form, Exum uses a full elevation, banking a 34-footer off the window to give Dallas a five-point edge to enter the fourth quarter. The postseason-ready Memphis Grizzlies used a hot-shooting final period to confirm the many reasons for why they stand among the Western Conference’s elites, pulling away for a victory. Despite being off-rhythm on this night, Exum — in the midst of a career season — tucked a new highlight into his reel, and added a three-point, two-rebound, one-assist, one-triple statline to his ledger. · State of Mint · State of Mint
