Dejounte Murray Scores Career-High 41 Points Against Portland
2 years agoAtlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray carried the offense with a career-high 41 points on Friday against Portland, hitting 17-for-22 from the field and a perfect 5-for-5 from deep in a 129-111 win. He added five rebounds and six assists to his tally as well with one steal and four turnovers in 34 minutes. Murray's previous best was 40 points, which he also had against the Blazers earlier in the season. Damian Lillard & Co. will be very glad to know that they won't have to face the Hawks again this term. Murray averaged only 19.3 points last month but had a strong finish to February and certainly got off on the right foot in March as well. He has notched 27.3 points per game after the All-Star break and will look to continue the good scoring run in back-to-back games against Miami.
