PFT CommenterJamal Murray won't score 50 points again this season because he offended the basketball gods
The basketball gods are thundering down upon Jamal Murray. He's not going to score 50 points ever this year because he tried that Mickey Mouse stunt [of shooting a late three while up by 10].
Jamal Murray did not score 50 points (or even match his high of 48) again during the 2018-19 regular season or playoffs.

PFT CommenterAllowing a single player to score 50 points is a bad sign for the Celtics' team defense
It does look bad if somebody's putting up 50 on you. Not a great sign for the Celtics this year. Like, it does say something about team defense if one guy's able to do that against, like, five.
The Celtics finished the 2018-19 season with a top-10 defense (7th in defensive rating), suggesting this game was an outlier rather than a systemic failure.
