The Dejounte Murray era is off to a rousing start with the Atlanta Hawks. Murray came to Atlanta via trade after spending his first five seasons with the San Antonio Spurs, and early indications suggest the backcourt of he and Trae Young will give opposing defenses nightmares. Against the Houston Rockets in his Hawks debut, Murray showcases his ability to fill up a box score, first picking a Houston ball handler’s pocket before racing the other way. The unselfish Murray makes another smart play, dishing a pass to a streaking Onyeka Okongwu for the underhand layup. Murray tallied 20 points, five rebounds, 11 assists and five steals in the 117-107 victory on October 19, 2022. · Oct 19, 2022
