Dejounte Murray Leads Hawks To Victory
2 years agoAtlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray had one of his best games of the season on Friday, leading all scorers with 34 points in a 117-109 victory over Denver. He shot 13-for-22 from the field with a 4-for-7 effort from downtown and collected eight assists with three rebounds, one block and one turnover. Murray had a chance to enjoy his third-highest scoring game of the season, with Atlanta missing a number of starters, including Trae Young (shoulder). The two have played well together, but Young's absence gives Murray an opportunity to run the backcourt all on his own. He's been getting 21.4 points per game this season with 5.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists, and Murray should be leading the charge again Monday versus the Thunder if Young can't return.
