With his yesterday night’s performance, Dejounte becomes the only player in the entire league this season to record back-to-back 30+ points, 10+ assists games.

Several fans around the league were amazed looking at the 25-year-old’s outing. Teammate Devin Vassell took it to Twitter showing his appreciation for Murray, right after the game concluded.

Former San Antonio legend Manu Ginobili was left stunned seeing the stats Murray posted in his last 2 games –  63 points, 27 assists, 17 rebounds, 6 steals, and merely 2 turnovers in 67 minutes.

With Dejounte’s outstanding performances, the Spurs have won their 3rd game in the past 4 contests. Still placed 12th in the West with a 22-35 record, SAS is now only 1 game behind for the play-in spot. If Murray keeps balling like this, the Spurs could very possibly be moving up the standings.
