Quin Snyder, on Dejounte Murray, to @WilliamsLaurenL:
“They started to trap him, then we played pick-and-roll with a small and he got some switches that he wanted. It was a cerebral game, as well as, obviously, a big game, statistically.”
“His buckets were big buckets.” – 10:46 PM

Dejounte Murray’s career high is 41 and the Hawks might need something in that vicinity to get a win.
It’s asking a **lot**. – 8:51 PM

Quin Snyder said that Dejounte Murray has done a good job of recognizing and playing against different coverages (drop, trap, switch, etc.) with Trae out.
Said that he expects CLE to try to push him to sidelines. – 5:52 PM
