Dejounte Murray’s tantalizing wingspan helps him plenty on the basketball court. It allows him to get extra reach under the boards, guard opponents on the perimeter and shoot over another defender. This gives him the ability to contribute across the board for the San Antonio Spurs, which shows up on every game’s box score.
Well, Sunday’s game vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers brought this to the forefront.
Murray’s final stat line was remarkable, to say the least. He contributed in everything but 3-point shooting and delivered one of his best performances of the season. This was on 5-for-12 shooting:
- Points: 13
- Rebounds: 9
- Assists: 5
- Steals: 4
- Blocks: 3
Jordan Howenstine noted Murray’s performance was a history-making one, too, for point guards:
Dejounte Murray is the only point guard in the NBA this season to record 4+ steals and 3+ blocks in a single game.
