Murray got away with it midway through the second quarter.
The Nuggets were getting pounded so hard by the Timberwolves in the first half of Game 2 Monday night that Jamal Murray , clearly frustrated with the officials, threw a heat pack onto the court during the middle of the second quarter.At first, it was unclear where the object came from as it slid across the court, narrowly missing the feet of Karl-Anthony Towns as the Timberwolves star made a layup to put the Wolves up by 24 points.
The object prompted the officials to briefly stop the game, but no penalties were assessed and the game carried on with the Wolves taking a 61-35 lead into the half. But it was later revealed by a TNT replay that Murray stood up at the end of Denver's bench and threw the heat pack in the direction of official Mark Davis.
The TNT camera shows Nuggets star Jamal Murray throwing a heat pack from the bench right into game action on the floor before a T-Wolves bucket. ⁉️Murray was one of many Nuggets players and coaches arguing with officials in the first half despite the officials letting players play on both sides of the court. Minnesota was whistled for six fouls in the first half compared to eight calls on the Nuggets.
