The aesthetes of the game will have noted it: following two small weeks of iso, not that of James Harden but that of COVID, Dejounte Murray was back at the lead of the Spurs to continue his difficult climb to the All-Star Game Mount. No warm-up on the program since the begey immediately regained his standards, thereby helping Gregg Popovich to validate a victory for his people, he who coached his… 2000th game at the head of Spurs last night. Wow, that doesn’t make it all look younger.
The house stats of this incredible offensive show between Boston and San Antonio is right here
Have a Dejounte Murray in your life and everything will be better. A maxim on the verge of entering the great universal dictionary of maxims that do not exist, as Dejounte Murray transforms this Spurs team, as the one who is no longer a kid has passed a hell of a time this season. NBA leader in the number of triple-doubles, take that the RW Family, 18 points, 8.4 rebounds and 8.8 average assists, and a crazy succession of reference matches, this is the life that DM has decided to lead since the 20th October. If you like DM go into DM, and that night in Boston the playmaker didn’t hang around to remind us what kind of leader he had become. 22 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals, usual production for the crack who will have found this time in… Devin Vassell the ideal companion to hit the Bostonian. Duo representative of a youth who attacks hard and defends hard, also symbolized by a Keldon Johnson still in training, a youth who validates this morning their fifteenth victory of the season and a record of 15-22 obviously negative in form but overall Satisfying in the end as we promised hell to the flock of Pop this season.
A victory of two small points, to be credited to Dejounte and his soldiers therefore, but also to that of the… choke of the Celtics, the latter having offered us a last possession in the image of the overall performance of Jayson Tatum, oh the beautiful way of headshot full of people in the same sentence. Jayson Tatum? Back too following a fortnight’s compulsory stopover, we saw just above that this is not necessarily an excuse even if no situation is identical, the winger of the C’s has bricked as we “brick” his ground a spring cleaning day (does your mother say that too?), with an almost unexpected 6/20 given its overall performance. In the hard, Jay suddenly left the other Jay (Len Brown) last night to take care of almost everything, Jean-Lin Marron confirming that he remains capable of being one of the best players in the League. when he’s in the area.
Thank you zone thank you blood, and Jaylen, who therefore thought he had done the hard part by coming back from half-time like a damn, entering absolutely everything he tried to finish his evening with 30 points on the clock. Except that 30 points is regarding what he scored in the middle of the third quarter, and we jumped immediately on this last green possession, the one that might / should have sent everyone overtime following Dejounte Murray – encoire oit, jackal – gave Los Spurs two puntos.
Throw-in for the Spurs in midfield, Jock Landale fires a hose and spins the ball to… Jaylen Brown instead of giving it to his leader. A few seconds to play, Marron goes on a counter-attack and decides not to give Tatum the air, who gives up his arms, the last lay-up is too short and there will be no overtime. If DeMar DeRozan took the nickname King Of the Fourth this season from Isaiah Thomas, Jaylen Brown is therefore Boston’s new King Of the Third. Time, and glory to Dejounte Murray, hashtag NBAVOTE.
