The Nuggets got too heated and let it spill onto the court. Their offense went to waste. Their coach went nose-to-nose with a referee. Their defense deteriorated. And with one flick of Jamal Murray’s wrist, their championship pedigree disappeared. Murray’s rash decision to throw a heat pack onto the floor during play was a brutally on-the-nose metaphor for the collective loss of composure that characterized Denver’s Game 2 embarrassment against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night. “I thought we lost control of our emotions a little bit tonight,” coach Michael Malone said. “We’ve gotta leave the officials alone, honestly,” Aaron Gordon said.
