Jason Kidd Details Decision to Deploy Jaden Hardy Over Dante Exum Against OKC Thunder

During the Dallas Mavericks' 104-92 Game 5 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, one of the adjustments made was to deploy Jaden Hardy off the bench instead of Dante Exum, who previously played an important role in the regular season before struggling in the postseason. "We need to find ways to get him more minutes," Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said of Hardy. Hardy, who hadn't been in the playoff rotation before Tuesday's game, logged 15 minutes and totaled two points, three rebounds, and two assists.
