Dante Exum explodes for 21 points in Jazz victory over Memphis

It was clear the Memphis Grizzlies were not interested in winning the game against the Utah Jazz. Utah had no answer for Marc Gasol who shot 6/7 from three and 11/12 from the field and was promptly pulled at halftime. Tank you very much.

Nevertheless, it was a huge night for Dante Exum who looked every bit the top prospect he was touted to be. Exum shot 8/10 from the field including 3/4 from 3 for 21 points in 27 minutes. He also had 3 rebounds and 3 assists and was a major reason the Jazz pulled out a victory in what was a pretty unimpressive defensive performance.

Donovan Mitchell continues his strong play pouring in his standard 22 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. It’s amazing how reliable his scoring and playmaking are as a rookie. He’s truly special.

The Jazz have a tough road ahead of them and will need to improve in a lot of areas to ensure a playoff spot. Having Dante Exum provide this level of play will help with that immensely.
