In a game that left Toronto coach Darko Rajakovic fuming, the Los Angeles Lakers narrowly edged out the Raptors with a 132-131 victory. But it wasn't the nail-biting final score that had Rajakovic irate; it was the whopping 23 free throws the Lakers shot in the fourth quarter, compared to the measly two that the Raptors managed to secure. Coach Rajakovic held nothing back as he vented his frustrations towards the officiating, labeling the disparity as 'complete B.S.' and expressing his disappointment in the league allowing such inequity.
Toronto's Anthony Davis took center stage in the final period, pouring in 20 of his 41 points and going a perfect 11 for 11 from the free throw line. In fact, Davis alone shot 14 free throws for the Lakers, while the entire Raptors team managed just 13 attempts. Rajakovic couldn't help but express his astonishment at the lack of foul calls for his own star player, Scottie Barnes, who 'goes every single time to the rim with force' without resorting to flopping or seeking foul calls.
