    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.

    Josh Giddey reduced to spectator as Aussie is benched in NBA playoffs

    Josh Giddey was relegated to the bench for crunch time in his NBA playoffs debut as top-seeded Oklahoma City were almost run down by an undermanned New Orleans. The Australian third-year point guard played just 20 minutes and wasn't sighted in the final 10 minutes of a see-sawing, first-round Western Conference meeting with the Pelicans. After 20 lead changes and 11 ties the Thunder prevailed 94-92, CJ McCollom's off-balance effort to win on the buzzer missing for the eighth-seeded visiting side who were without leading scorer Zion Williamson (hamstring). It was the Thunder's first post-season game at home since 2019, Giddey's side the youngest top-seeds in NBA history with an average age of 23.9.
