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.
