The Minnesota Timberwolves are absolutely manhandling the Denver Nuggets on the road (without Rudy Gobert), in what might be the most impressive defensive showing in NBA Playoff history, and the Nuggets stars, especially Jamal Murray are growing increasingly frustrated.

Jamal Murray throws heat pack onto the court

Head coach Mike Malone is throwing temper tantrums, Nikola Jokic’s nose is even more red and puffy than normal… and Jamal Murray is throwing heat packs onto the court while the Timberwolves are on offense. Oh, and none of these things were called for technicals.

Seriously, though… throwing a heat pack onto the court is unhinged behavior. The Minnesota Timberwolves are currently leading by 30 points in the 3rd quarter and that’s all due to a defensive effort that has the Nuggets thinking about folding their franchise.

How the Denver Nuggets have not received a technical foul in this contest is proof that the refs are not interested in t-ing up the defending champs tonight. The Wolves don’t need their help anyway, though.
