Dejounte Murray

Dejounte Murray’s start was good, but the ending was even better. The first-year Atlanta Hawks guard had 16 points through three quarters and was only getting started. After catching a pass from Trae Young on the wing, the sixth-year pro attempts a drive, improvises when met with solid Miami Heat defense, then buries a stepback triple to increase Atlanta’s lead to eight with 1:36 to play. Murray scored 12 of his team-high 28 points in the fourth, pairing those with four rebounds, seven assists, two steals and five three-pointers in a 121-113 victory on January 16, 2023.
