As much of the NBA has had to learn the hard way, the Atlanta Hawks have not just one, but two All-Star caliber guards with ice-in-their-veins-type fearlessness when the late-game pressure heats up. Routinely one of the game’s most cerebral year-to-year clutch scorers, Dejounte Murray accepts the daunting challenge against both a dwindling shot clock and a hounding Orlando Magic defender with just a single possession remaining in regulation. Pumping his breaks just enough to create room for liftoff, the do-it-all guard balances himself before raising up for a game-winning pull-up, the first of two in consecutive games. A consistent, top-tier talent, Murray brought his A-game in the win on January 17, 2024, dropping in 26 points, five rebounds, five assists, and two steals. · Jan 18, 2024
