It wasn't efficient.
But Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray sunk the Boston Celtics Thursday night with a 44-point effort, including the game-winner in the final second of overtime to secure the 123-122 victory. The shot matched his field-goal tally with his point total as he needed 44 field-goal attempts to reach the lofty number.
Atlanta started its final possession trailing 122-121 after Jaylen Brown secured the Celtics lead with a jumper on the other end. Murray took the inbounds pass at halfcourt and faced one-on-one coverage from five-time All-Defensive Team guard Jrue Holiday.
