During the final minute of a December game between the Lakers and Nuggets, second-year guard Jamal Murray dribbled around Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball. The Lakers took exception to it.
Los Angeles is still salty. Ball recently called that a "punk move" and said he doesn't appreciate Murray's "circus stuff."
This is the kind of "circus stuff" to which Ball alluded.
Lakers coach Luke Walton hasn't appreciated Murray's actions either.
So, as you'd expect, when the teams met at Staples Center Tuesday night, Murray was not a welcome guest. As the Lakers sealed their 112-103 win in the final minute, fans chanted, "Murray sucks!"
And then, in the final seconds, Lakers guard Isaiah Thomas flipped the ball to Murray—a subtle way of saying, "what now, young blood?"
Murray had 18 points, six rebounds, four assists, and two steals in the Nuggets' loss.
