Dejounte Murray racks up another triple-double as Spurs fall short of the Heat

The San Antonio Spurs went cold late against the Miami Heat despite strong games from Dejounte Murray and DeMar DeRozan, and the quest for the elusive four-game winning streak (which the Spurs have not accomplished since the 2018-19 season) continues. The good guys had to adjust without Derrick White’s services for the foreseeable future and kept it respectable till the end. Murray notched his 4th triple-double of the season with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists. DeRozan poured in 20 points and handed out 8 assists of his own.

Recently, Dejounte Murray has been stuffing the box score with rebounds and assists to go with his scoring. Tonight was no different as the 5th-year guard led the Spurs throughout the game.

Here, DeMar DeRozan picks a pocket and takes the steal to the other end for a pocket pass to Drew Eubanks:

Murray’s recipe for an and-1 requires a little hesi, a splash of burst, and then top it off with a strong finish to the basket:

Keldon Johnson went bowling down the lane with no regard for any Miami Vices in his way:

Lonnie Walker IV manages to make a coast-to-coast venture look slow initially and then he casually puts on the burners to cruise past the defense for a bucket:

Murray had his mitts all over this play starting with a steal and quickly ending with a touch bounce pass to a flying Devin Vassell down the other end for a slam:

And last but never least, the full-game highlights:

Next up, the Spurs head out to Beantown to take on the Celtics on Friday, April 30, 2021.
