What? He didn't hit a couple of nice 3s, he had only 3 attempts, one make from 3, another on a good drive (that no one from the team other than Luka and Kyrie can make consistently), just happen to get blocked by a taller defender (who's behind him), and another thru a lane incursion where he was fouled (a quick go-to to the basket just like what Green does, but with more controlled motion).
Exum made the outlet pass the same way Luka found Gafford. That's heads-up play.
Exum saw a cutting Kyrie, made the pass and Ky had the easy 2.
Exum slid in in the lane out of the 2 man action with Kyrie, but Kyrie missed him and decided to take the 3 instead (which missed).
Exum looks a little wobbly to me, his balance is off, but he still navigates screens better than Green in this game.
I would have wanted Exum to be in the closing line-up when the Rapotors were pressing.
