Dejounte Murray Notches 13th Triple-Double Of Season
3 years agoSan Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray scuffled mightily from the field during Saturday's win over the Pelicans, but he led the way with a triple-double. New Orleans held Murray to just 4-for-19 shooting overall, but he went 7-for-8 from the free-throw stripe, adding in 13 assists and 11 rebounds to his 15 points. Seven different Spurs scored in double figures, while Murray played a game-high 40 minutes and added three steals to bolster his stat line; at 2.1 steals per game, the 25-year-old is on pace to cruise to leading the league. With the Spurs just a game out of the Play-in Tournament, expect Murray to be heavily leaned on over the final two weeks, beginning with Monday's matchup vs. Houston, whom he has recorded two double-doubles and a triple-double against in three prior meetings this year.
