Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie took exception with the actions of referee Tony Brothers during Friday night’s game against the Raptors, accusing the veteran official of using vulgar language to describe him to one of his Dallas teammates after calling him for a technical foul.
Brothers awarded Dinwiddie a technical foul with 47.8 seconds remaining in the second quarter after Dinwiddie approached him to dispute a take foul call. Speaking to reporters after the Mavs’ 111–110 victory, Dinwiddie opened with a statement in which said he might’ve used a curse word to make his case but did not do so in a derogatory matter.
