Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray lost his cool Thursday night during the team’s victory over the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena when a heckling fan used sexual remarks against the player’s girlfriend.
Nuggets teammate Nikola Jokic was the only able to stop Murray from doing something drastic.

“I saw your girl sucking d—,” the fan yelled at Murray.
Murray, 26, was quick to confront the fan in the crowd, but a referee stood in his way.
Jokic, 28, had to intervene when Murray continued trying to fight the heckling Pistons fan.

As Jokic held Murray back, the fan continued his heckling,”You ain’t going to do s–t boy.”
Security guards then intervened and reportedly ejected the fan from the game, along with those who were with him.
Pistons, the worst team in the league, lost by 19 points to the leaders of the Western Conference.
Murray is averaging 20 points and six assists as Jokis is having an MVP-caliber season.
