Murray was seen post game walking up on referee Gediminas Petraitis, and bumping him. Although it is not clear whether or not the bump/contact was intentional. He was escorted off the court by Hawks security.
The Hawks acquired All-Star guard Dejounte Murray and center Jock Landale from the San Antonio Spurs, in exchange for forward Danilo Gallinari, and Future First Round Draft Picks last June.
