Today, the Lone Ranger played against the Denver Gold Nugget at home. In the end, the Gold Nugget narrowly defeated the Lone Ranger 117-113. It is worth mentioning that in the second half of the third quarter, the gold nugget backcourt star Jamal Murray suddenly used the skill of stealing peaches when he fell to the ground. Called a second-degree malicious foul and was expelled from the field.
During the confrontation, Jamal Murray collided with Lone Ranger guard Tim Hardaway Jr., and as a result, Murray attacked Tim Hardaway Jr.’s lower body while he fell to the ground and got up. For Murray’s irrational behavior, after the referee went to the technical stage and put on headphones to ask about the specific situation, he called Murray a second-degree malicious foul and expelled Murray directly.
Jamal Murray played 25 minutes and 07 seconds before leaving the field, hitting 7 of 11 from field goal percentage, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, 16 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
