Murray closed Thursday's 137-131 overtime loss to the Warriors with 25 points (11-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 40 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Murray got off to an excellent start in the opener.

The veteran's above-average shot volume (20 attempts) was also encouraging, as his seasonal averages have ranged from 15 to 16 attempts per game.

Murray (rest) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Murray's shot warmed up after a tepid outing in the season opener, sinking three three-pointers in six attempts beyond the arc.
