The Atlanta Hawks recently defeated the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament, with the final score being 116-105. The Hawks looked in control for the majority of the game, and the Heat simply didn’t have enough offense to keep up.
After the game, Dejounte Murray took the opportunity to roast a number of ESPN panelists, who all picked the Miami Heat to win the game against the Atlanta Hawks. All 17 panelists were clearly wrong, and Murray is letting them hear about it.

There is no doubt that this was a good win for the Atlanta Hawks, and they will now face the Boston Celtics in the playoffs. Though the Boston Celtics will definitely be the favorite in the matchup, the Atlanta Hawks could potentially make some noise in the series if Trae Young and Dejounte Murray step up to the challenge and elevate their play even further.
This season, Dejounte Murray averaged 20.5 PPG, 5.3 RPG, and 6.1 APG for the Atlanta Hawks. He has definitely been a solid co-star for Trae Young, and hopefully, we see him thrive in the playoffs.
Dejounte Murray And Trae Young Had Issues Connecting To Start The Season
Though they definitely have looked better as a duo as of late, it was previously reported that Dejounte Murray and Trae Young had issues connecting earlier in the season. It sometimes takes stars a whole season to figure out how to work well with one another, and just because a partnership doesn’t work immediately, doesn’t mean that it will be untenable forever.
“I think that they’re still learning from each other. It’s surprising it’s taking this long for them to learn from each other, especially considering the reports that Trae wanted Dejounte to come to Atlanta…,”
Next season will likely be the season where fans should truly have expectations for the Atlanta Hawks. They will have had one season where they could develop chemistry, and next year the expectation will be for them to be a top-6 seed in the Eastern Conference. Trae Young provides superstar offensive production, and Dejounte Murray is a worthy co-star. Thus, there’s no reason for them to be a bad team next year given this chemistry-building year.
Hopefully, we see the Atlanta Hawks find some success during Trae Young’s tenure. They definitely have a high ceiling as a team due to Young’s presence, and we’l see what happens in the future.
