In a heated Game 2 matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Nuggets guard Jamal Murray made headlines for all the wrong reasons. During the game, Murray threw a heating pad onto the floor in frustration, a move that was deemed “dangerous” and “inexcusable” by Minnesota coach Chris Finch.
Crew chief Marc Davis admitted that Murray should have been called for a technical foul for his actions, although he stopped short of ejecting him from the game. Murray finished the game with a disappointing 8 points on 3-for-18 shooting and left the arena without speaking to reporters.
Adding to the tension, Denver coach Michael Malone got into a heated exchange with Davis during the first quarter over a missed call. Malone was not aware of the heating pad incident involving Murray but defended his actions in standing up for his players.
With the Nuggets now down 0-2 in the series, star player Nikola Jokic is determined to lead his team in a comeback. “We face an uphill battle, but we’re not backing down,” Jokic said. “We’ll put up a fight and bring this series back from Minnesota.”
As the drama unfolds on the court, all eyes will be on Murray and the Nuggets as they try to turn the tide and salvage their playoff hopes. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story from Guam News Factor.
