Frigid from the field, and scoreless on six straight possessions during a closely-contested third quarter, the Sacramento Kings ended their drought in perhaps the most exciting way possible: a thunderous jam, courtesy of Keegan Murray. Taking yet another step, in terms of his self-serve, unassisted scoring ability, Sactown’s third-year swingman races into one of 2024-25’s best aerial displays, leaving Rudy Gobert in the dust behind on an open-floor attack before climbing the ladder for a loud one-handed flush. The jam earned a 107.6 “Dunk Score” — an NBA-tracked stat that rates dunks through categories such as vertical leap, contest, and hangtime — which ranked as the 11th-best regular-season throwdown. Murray’s through-the-air artistry eventually helped Sacramento shake the offensive cobwebs against the Minnesota Timberwolves over the game’s final quarter and change; with that play serving as his top highlight, Murray finished with eight points, four rebounds, one steal, and a block. · Nov 28, 2024
