Dante Exum led the Dallas Mavericks to a 118-113 victory over the Miami Heat, scoring a season-high 27 points in just 24 minutes. His performance was crucial as the Mavericks played without key players like Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis due to injuries. Exum embraced a leadership role in the match, contributing not just in scoring but also with four assists, three rebounds, and strong defense. The team, despite being undermanned with eight players out, managed to secure their second consecutive win. Tyler Herro shined for the Heat with 40 points but couldn't bring his team back in the final moments of the game. This marked Exum's first time leading the Mavericks in scoring in 62 regular-season games, showcasing his significant impact since returning from injury.
