Now all Atlanta has to do is figure out how Trae Young can fit with Dejounte Murray. – 10:04 PM

Dejounte Murray wins it. #Hawks sweep the #Celtics in back to back meetings in ATL. – 10:01 PM
DeJounte Murray sold that call like it was a Flex Seal infomercial – 9:55 PM
We’ll see how this finishes, but Dejounte Murray is likely going to finish as the first person to shoot below 45% on 40+ shots since James Harden on 11/16/19, per @Stathead – 9:53 PM
Dejounte Murray out here launching like Kobe Bryant in his last game. 37 points on 38 shots – 9:48 PM
Dejounte Murray’s poor back. Was questionable to play with lower back soreness before yesterday’s and tonight’s games. – 9:47 PM
Dejounte Murray has taken 35 shots.
Most against the Celtics since Devin Booker’s 70-point game in Boston seven years ago – 9:37 PM
Dejounte Murray is somehow playing really well while missing almost 20 shots. Hawks have been great on the offensive glass with a 22-6 2nd chance point advantage, taking advantage of a lot of those misses when Boston’s box out matchups get screwed up when they switch. – 9:30 PM
