NEW ORLEANS — Nuggets coach Michael Malone was called for one technical foul on Saturday night, and he wasn’t in the mood to get docked anything else.
Malone was careful with his words following Saturday’s 125-115 loss to the Pelicans – a loss that saw Anthony Davis take eight more free throw attempts than the entire Nuggets team combined. The final disparity – 34 attempts for New Orleans, 13 for Denver and 21 for Davis – had players in the postgame locker room reminding their teammates to save their criticism and thus their money.
“I’ll have to go back and watch it,” Malone said.
