NBA reportedly investigating Hawks G Dejounte Murray after he bumped official at end of Game 4 loss to Celtics

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray bumped into an official at the end of Sunday's playoff loss to the Boston Celtics, prompting an NBA investigation, ESPN's Tim Bontemps reports.

Video taken from the stands shows Murray approach referee Gediminas Petraitis from across the court as the final seconds of regulation tick off the clock of Boston's 129-121 win. Murray looked directly at Petraitis then bumped his chest into the referee's right shoulder as the buzzer sounded. Petraitis didn't appear to see Murray approaching, but he turned around and stared at Murray as the Hawks guard walked away toward the tunnel with his back turned to the referee.
