Dejounte Murray led the Atlanta Hawks to a win over the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.
Murray scored a career-high 44 points in Atlanta’s 123-122 overtime win. He also took 44 eye-popping shots, one of which was the game-winner as time expired.
Bryant, of course, was known for having games where he put up shots seemingly nonstop. However, Kobe was a lot more efficient in some of those games. The Los Angeles Lakers legend took 46 shots when he famously scored 81 points during a game in 2006.
Murray converted 18 of his 44 shots, including 6-of-19 from three-point range. He did not have the most efficient night, but his most important shot went down, giving the Hawks a much-needed victory.
The Hawks improved to 34-39 with the win and have a six-game lead over the Brooklyn Nets for the 10th and final postseason spot in the Eastern Conference.
