Harsh words are often said after a contentious call in an NBA game. It's not often they come from an official. That was allegedly the case in Friday's game between the Dallas Mavericks and Toronto Raptors
Near the end of the second quarter, Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie was called for a take foul, then hit with a technical foul by official Tony Brothers. The incident led to two free throws for the Raptors, but the fireworks didn't really begin until after the game.
Dinwiddie told reporters that not only his technical foul unjustified because he was clapping toward his teammates, but Brothers had also called him a "b***-ass motherf***er" while speaking with one of his Mavericks teammates.
