Thursday night belonged to Kawhi Leonard and his career-high 41 points, but the other big story in San Antonio’s 118-115 overtime win in Cleveland was rookie Dejounte Murray, who followed up a career game versus Denver with 14 points and six assists in just 22 minutes.
With Tony Parker returning to San Antonio for an MRI on his foot, Murray got the start for the second game in a row. The Spurs’ first-round pick rarely looked out of his depth, making sound decisions and being aggressive from the early going.
Dejounte has worked a lot on that floater in Austin.
