The Nuggets guard was frustrated during Game 2 and appeared to throw a heat pack onto the court while sitting on the bench.
After checking out of the game late into the first half, Murray, who had been barking back and forth with officials throughout the game, could be seen vehemently protesting a no-call from the referees.
Murray was then spotted by the TNT broadcast appearing to throw a heat pack onto the court, which landed dangerously close to the foot of Karl-Anthony Towns as he went up for a layup. Officials did not seem to notice it was Murray who threw the object, despite a confused Kentavious Caldwell-Pope bending over to pick it up and remove it after Towns's basket.
