The National Basketball League is investigating Atlanta Hawks player Dejounte Murray for what he did against officials after the end of the game between the Hawks and Celtics.
Boston won 129-121 in Game 4 of the series in Atlanta.
The Hawks guard scored 23 points, had 9 rebounds, and gave 6 assists in the defeat against Celtics. Murray intentionally contacted the official Gediminas Petraitis after the buzzer as Dejounte was leaving the court. Then the guard faced back and screamed at someone before going to the tunnel.

Atlanta denied media access to Murray after the game.
NBA will review everything that happened and probably will tell what Murray’s punishment will be before the next match on Tuesday when Celtics will play at TD Garden against the Hawks in Game 5.
If Boston wins, the next game at home will advance to the 2nd round of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference and play against the Philadelphia 76ers.
