Dejounte Murray helps lift San Antonio Spurs over Golden State Warriors
The San Antonio Spurs hold sole possession of 5th place in the Western Conference, quietly putting themselves in position for a playoff run. With a talented offense led by DeMar DeRozan and Rudy Gay, the Spurs could surprise a lot of teams in the West on any given night.
Despite Steph Curry's consistently spectacular play, the Golden State Warriors have not been performing well as a whole. Their defensive possessions late in the game fell short, and the Spurs hit the shots they needed.
Here's how Twitter reacted to Dejounte Murray's big night:
Dejounte Murray's 8 steals came at just the right time. The Golden State Warriors made many late, risky passes and were punished with 20 turnovers as a team. Murray is displaying his ability as an all-around basketball player and is slowly emerging as one of the league's biggest stars.
