On May 7, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs Western Conference semifinals staged a focus battle, the defending champion Nuggets lost 80-106 to the Timberwolves who lacked Gobert, and fell behind 0-2 after losing 2 games in a row, and the situation was very critical.
It is worth mentioning that Nuggets player Murray not only performed sluggishly in this game, but also threw debris at the court and gestured at the referee to count money, which was very unscrupulous.
Nuggets main Jokic had a lackluster performance of only 16 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists, while another core player, Murray, was even more outrageous, scoring only 8 points on 3-of-18 shooting, 0-of-4 three-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws, and 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 4 turnovers, with a plus/minus of -16.
Murray's 16.7 percent shooting percentage is the second-worst shooting in a single game in the history of the Nuggets (at least 15 shots), which is only better than Anthony (6.3 percent shooting in the 2004 playoffs).
In the G1 game, Murray did not score in the first half for the first time in his career, and in this game, Murray scored 2 points on 1-of-10 shooting in the first half, and the overall performance was very poor.
In the game, Murray threw things into the field to interfere with the game because of his uncontrollable emotions, and the camera also captured the picture of Murray gesturing towards the referee to count money, which was really a loss and a loss.
Murray's various outrageous behaviors once the league intervenes in the investigation, Murray may even face the risk of being suspended, and the Nuggets will challenge the Timberwolves with a 2-0 lead away from home in the G3 game, and once there is no Murray, it will be difficult for the Nuggets to control their fate.
