Kendrick Perkins sees a concerning penalty for the Nuggets’ Jamal Murray after a dangerous move

When it comes to the NBA Playoffs, emotions are always running high. The Denver Nuggets desperately needed to play at home, but they just couldn’t get close to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Nikola Jokic and Mike Malone couldn’t make any saves against this strong defense. Additionally, Jamal Murray and the rest of the team simply couldn’t get anything going when defended by Anthony Edwards or another guard. This led to much Frustration that has built up.

Intrusive thoughts are one thing, but throwing things onto the pitch is a danger. Jamal Murray sent a heat package onto the field that almost landed on several players. Luckily, not a single Nuggets or Timberwolves player slipped and tripped over it. However, there were some angry reactions from avid NBA playoff viewers. One of them came from Kendrick Perkins.

“It will be interesting to see what the Nuggets look like in Game 3 without Murray… because he will most likely be suspended for throwing the Heat Pack,” the former NBA player explained.

The series is a WRAP. Denver is down 2-0 and the No. 2 player and the T-Wolves just back them into a corner and celebrate.”
Others weren’t entirely sure if he would miss time in this series, but were worried about others Key absences“Skeptical the NBA will suspend Jamal Murray from a playoff game for throwing the heating pad on the floor.

Nuggets battle against the Timberwolves

It wasn’t a good start at all for the Nuggets in this NBA playoffs series. They lost by seven points in Game 1 and had to settle for a deficit of 26 points in Game 2. This latest loss was particularly frustrating because every single person on the Nuggets’ roster was disrupted by the Timberwolves’ defense. Only Aaron Gordon managed to score 20 points. Even then, they shot a terrible 34.9% from the field and were hammered inside, allowing opponents to score 52 points.

The fact that the Nuggets also managed to sink nine of their 30 three-point attempts didn’t help. Overall, a lot of adjustments need to be made if they don’t want to get lost in this series.
