Jamal Murray said that the Denver Nuggets have to expect that foul calls will go against them following their game 1 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
"Just try to play through it. It's tough. They want to talk about every call and have full conversations and try to manipulate what happens, but you can't worry about it.
"We know how it's going to be. We know we're the younger team. We're just going to play through it. We're going to find a way, and we're not going to go away so easy," said Murray, who finished with 21 points and 5 assists.
The Nuggets were called for 16 fouls in the second quarter, leading to 24 Lakers free throws.
The Lakers went to the line 37 times in the game, nine more than the Nuggets.
Michael Malone said he'll watch the film to "see the fouls that are being called, why they're being called, should they have been called."
Murray added that the Nuggets have to earn the respect of the refs.
"I'm not going to sit here and just blame it on the refs. That's not what I'm doing. We just got to play through it and earn the respect."
