Calvin Murphy who retired in 1983 briefly got a ball from a ref during Denver guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf’s late free throws that could have broken Murphy’s free throw percentage record. Abdul-Rauf made one of two, missing the second, while Murphy yelled from the Rockets’ bench and later reflected on the moment. NBA will query referees about how Murphy touched the ball before the shot.
