The show of life: D.Murray, who scored all the points in overtime, became the true NBA leader

The 27-year-old guard, who put on the performance of his life, scored all of his team’s points in overtime, leading the Atlanta Hawks (34-39) to a dramatic 123-122 home victory (28-29, 31-34, 30-27, 23-22, 11 :10) was true for the absolute leaders of the league “Boston Celtics” (57-16).

The unstoppable American scored a total of 44 points (12/25 doubles, 6/19 triples, 2/2 penalties), 7 rebounds and 7 assists in 46 minutes.

He scored all 11 of his team’s points in overtime.

It’s true, he didn’t steal the overtime, but Serbian Bogdan Bogdanović, who hit a three-pointer with 27 seconds left in the game. At the same time, Celtics leader Jayson Tatum tried to answer, but his shot went wide.

“I’m just made for such moments. I trust myself”, D. Murray was happy with the winning shot.

He took 44 total shots, hitting 18 (40.9 percent), though there were questions before the game whether the quarterback would even get on the court because of a sore back.

“It feels like I played tragically. I don’t want to quit that much. I know Kobe Bryant would be proud of me. We fought until the end and won as a team”, said the hero of the match.

It was the fourth win in a row for the Hawks. Atlanta has been without point guard Trae Young for more than a month with a finger injury, but the Hawks are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference and are aiming for the playoffs.
