Dejounte Murray basically kept going 1 on 5, took 44 shots, scored 44 points, made so many crucial jumpers capped by the game-winning j over Holiday as the Hawks beat the full-strength Celtics in OT. That's twice in a week. Makes you wonder about Boston.

I know most of y’all are watching college hoops but Dejounte Murray is having one of the most ridiculous games of the season

Now all Atlanta has to do is figure out how Trae Young can fit with Dejounte Murray.

A few takeaways from the Celtics losing two in Atlanta:
-They obviously aren't dialed in. The games mean nothing standings-wise and they seem to know it.
-Something that does matter: Murray hunted Porzingis. Boston has to find a way around that. It will happen in the playoffs…

Dejounte Murray took 44 shots to get 44 points and didn't give a damn about the percentages. Walked the best perimeter defender down for the game winner at the buzzer. Love it. Real hoopers do what needs to be done to win. Confidence is everything.
