There’s good reason why Dejounte Murray is headed to the All-Star game later this month.
The New Orleans Pelicans fell 124-114 to the San Antonio Spurs in large part due to Murray being the most impactful player on the court. He finished with 31 points, 12 assists, seven rebounds and just one turnover.
The 31.7% three-point shooter even knocked down 2 of 4 triples.
Herbert Jones gave great effort, but he enjoyed little success in slowing down San Antonio’s fantastic point guard. Murray was just that good, hitting some ridiculous shots. To be fair, though, a lot of Pelicans had trouble staying in front of their assignments.
