Jamal Murray tosses heat pack, Michael Malone screams at officials as Nuggets frustrated in Game 2
Nuggets guard Jamal Murray lost his cool on the bench and tossed a heat pack onto the court
DENVER (AP) — Nuggets guard Jamal Murray lost his cool on the bench and tossed a heat pack onto the court.
Denver's frustration was on full display in the first half of Game 2 on Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wolves applied the pressure and the defending champion Nuggets lost their temper, trailing by as many as 28 points in the second quarter.
Sitting on the bench, Murray was seen on video tossing a heat pack toward the court after layup by Karl-Anthony Towns. There wasn't a call on Murray, but a warning from the public address announcer to the crowd not to throw objects onto the floor.
The Timberwolves issued a warning of their own: They're a force to be reckoned with as they try to take a 2-0 lead in the second-round series. This after sweeping Phoenix in the first round. Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves flustered Murray and the Nuggets at every turn.
