“It’s outrageous,” exclaims the head coach of the Toronto Raptors after their 132-131 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

After Toronto Raptors’ narrow 132-131 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, head coach Darko Rajaković took a jab at the referees.

The difference in free throw attempts made by the two teams—the Lakers made 36 in the game compared to the Raptors’ 13—infuriated Rajaković.

The Lakers made 23 free throws in the fourth quarter alone, while the Raptors made just two.

“It’s ridiculous,” raged Rajaković. “What transpired this evening is utterly ridiculous. It is shameful. Disgrace to the umpires. It’s a shame the league let this happen. They get twenty-three free throws, and in the fourth quarter, we only get two? For example, how do I play the game?

“We have star players on our team as well, and I understand the respect for All-Stars and everything.” How is it possible that Scottie Barnes, an All-Star player in this league, only gets two free throws during a game despite going to the rim frequently, forcing himself to get there, and not trying to draw fouls?

“How is that even possible? How will you explain that to me, please?

Before the current season began, the NBA instituted a flopping penalty in an attempt to discourage players from inflating opponent contact and selling fouls to referees.
