Tim Legler roasted Jamal Murray for his silly (and incredibly inaccurate) heat pack toss

Monday night was a rough one for the reigning NBA champion Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic. Denver officially fell behind 2-0 in its second-round series with the juggernaut Minnesota Timberwolves and looked utterly lifeless in the process. The player who probably had the toughest night was Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray.

While getting flustered by the aggressive Minnesota defense, an injured Murray started cracking under the pressure. Things boiled over so much that he even threw a heat pack at referee Marc Davis from the sideline. According to Bennett Durando of the Denver Post, the incident is reportedly being reviewed by the league.

ESPN analyst Tim Legler had a unique take on the bizarre situation.

He used Murray’s abysmal Game 2 performance (3-of-18 from the field! more turnovers than assists!) to roast him over missing Davis with the heat pack:

Oof. Man. How do you ever live this down if you’re Murray? Not only did he get rattled in a big game, he completely lost his composure in the worst possible way. Roasts like this from Legler are well-earned.
