TORONTO – Josh Jackson took one for the team Thursday night – to make a point.
Highly frustrated with the officiating, Jackson drew a second technical foul in the fourth quarter of Phoenix’s 111-109 loss to Toronto that ended with Pascal Siakam’s driving bucket the buzzer.
“We didn’t get no calls, man,” Jackson said. “Simple as that. I felt disrespected. That’s what happened, ultimately, and I don’t let nobody disrespect me. That’s what happened.”
Suns team security assistant Mark Spencer was holding Jackson, who screamed at the referees after getting ejected.
