Timberwolves' Chris Finch Rips Jamal Murray for Throwing Heat Pack Onto Court

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch ripped Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray for throwing a heat pack onto the court during Minnesota's 106-80 win in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals on Monday night.

Finch, when asked about the incident during his postgame press conference, called Murray's actions "inexcusable" and "dangerous."

"Well, I didn't actually see it happen but it was explained to me [that] the referees didn't see it either, so they're not able to issue a technical unless they see it," Finch said. "We tried to impress upon them that there probably aren't many fans in the building that have a heat pack, so it probably had to come from the bench, which they found logical."
