Did Jamal Murray gesture toward the official with a money sign? 🫣
Two months ago, Rudy Gobert incurred a $100,000 fine for making a gesture resembling that towards the officials.

Skeptical the NBA will suspend Jamal Murray from a playoff game for throwing the heat pad onto the floor. But that Reggie Jackson injury–which looked pretty bad–looms large if they do. – 12:13 AM

Jamal Murray came into this series as one of the premier playoff performers in the league, with a 24.7 ppg career postseason scoring average compared to 17.5 ppg in the regular season.
Through the first seven quarters vs. MIN, he has 25 pts on 9-of-29 shooting. – 11:56 PM

It’s pretty clear the Nuggets have lost Game 2, but how they respond in 2H is going to go a long way in deciding how the rest of this series goes. I need to see some championship mettle. Jamal Murray needs a big 3Q. – 11:16 PM

Here’s where it starts: Jamal Murray has nothing because of his calf injury, and the Timberwolves have realized that and pounced. It snowballed from there playing against this caliber of defense. You take Murray out of the equation and the Nuggets aren’t the Nuggets. – 11:10 PM

After going 0-for-5 in the first half of Game 1, Jamal Murray started Game 2 going 0-for-6 before getting a bucket to go.
Halfway through the 2nd Q and the Nuggets are in disarray, shooting 34.4% with 7 turnovers.
MIN up 43-26. – 10:48 PM

Michael Malone is HEATED during this break in action, crossing the court to get into it with the referee, presumably over the offensive foul on Karl-Anthony Towns that wasn’t called the last possession when he collided with Jamal Murray.
Surprisingly, no tech on Malone. – 10:25 PM

Even well after the Murray incident, Gordon was handed a technical foul because a whole season’s worth of pent-up frustration at Nikola Jokic no-calls finally caused him to snap. “I think they’re just draped all over Joker. I think they’re just hacking him. They’re hacking,” Gordon said. “Yeah, and just not being able to communicate with the officials is frustrating as well. When you have to ask them a question and they don’t even look at you, they don’t even acknowledge you, very frustrating. And I think they’re hacking Joker. I think he’s been getting fouled all year. I don’t think he shoots nearly enough free throws, of what he should shoot. So yeah, it was just frustrating. I don’t like seeing my big fella get hacked with no calls.” -via Denver Post / May 7, 2024
Murray was not given a technical foul or any other punishment though, and it appears that he got away with a second instance of throwing something onto the court during the game as well. Video went viral after the contest showing Murray apparently throwing a towel towards referee Marc Davis, who had his back turned at the time. The towel landed behind Davis’ feet and ultimately went unnoticed (except by a team staffer who promptly collected the towel). Ryan Eichten of SB Nation shared the video. -via Larry Brown Sports / May 7, 2024
