NBA bans Atlanta's Murray one game for referee abuse

NEW YORK: Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray was suspended one game without pay by the NBA on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) after clashing with a referee following his team's game four loss to Boston.

The incident took place at the end of Boston's 129-121 victory in Atlanta, which gave the Celtics a 3-1 edge in their best-of-seven opening round NBA playoff series.
