Dejounte Murray and Derrick White belong together in win over the Hornets and in our hearts

The good guys kept love alive on Valentine’s Day with a win over the Charlotte Hornets for their second in a row (and on the road!). Like any lasting love, times were tough early on, but the Spurs managed the ups and down and in the end professed their victory. Dejounte Murray led the team with 26 points, and Derrick White chipped in 25 of his own. Murray and Jakob Poeltl both grabbed 12 rebounds each, and Poeltl continued his strong defensive run with 4 blocks.

Spurs fans have been clamoring for the dynamic duo of Murray and White to start together or play more minutes together for a while now, and it’s good to see the two make sweet, sweet magic together:

The Spurs started with a game of hot potato with the basketball around the horn and ended this beautiful sequence with a pretty finger roll by Rudy Gay:
