Raps' Nurse rips refs: Kawhi no-calls 'ridiculous'

Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse's frustration boiled over after a 95-86 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, with the coach directing his ire at officials for not calling fouls made against star Kawhi Leonard.

Nurse was particularly alarmed that Leonard had only four free throws in the loss despite Leonard's work around the rim.

"Tonight was a very severe case of a guy who was playing great, taking it to the rim, and just absolutely getting held, grabbed, poked, slapped, hit and everything. And they refused to call any of it," Nurse told reporters.
