Jamal Murray had to be separated from Seth Curry by his Denver Nuggets teammates during Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.
Murray received a pass in the post late in the first quarter and was shoved by Curry. Murray fell to the ground and Curry was called for a foul, putting Murray at the line.
Murray was upset over the shove and had to be restrained.

There is some history here.
Curry was among four players hit with technical fouls during a confrontation in Game 6 between the teams. After the game, he had some words for the Nuggets, calling them “sassy dudes.” Murray was about to show him the sass before being separated.
The winner of Game 7 advances to face the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.
