One day after the trade deadline the San Antonio Spurs new look lineup went into Atlanta and put on a show in a resounding 136-121 victory against the Hawks. Dejounte Murray ran the show for the first time since his backcourt partner, Derrick White, got traded to the Celtics. The newly All-Star point-guard didn’t seem to have a problem carrying even more of the load as he put on perhaps one of his best performances of his career, while breaking a few franchise records.
Dejounte’s new backcourt counterpart was second year pro, Devin Vassell, who also is the Spurs highest draft selection since Tim Duncan.
