Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet took aim at NBA official Ben Taylor and criticised his poor refereeing in an expletive-filled rant after his side lost to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
At the Crypto.com Arena in LA, the Raptors fell to a brutal 108-100 defeat to the Clippers, with VanVleet scoring 13 points to go with 9 assists. However, the 29-year-old was left fuming after he was called for a technical foul by Taylor in the third quarter.
The technical was VanVleet's eighth of the season, and it came midway through the their quarter with the Clippers leading by seven at the time. The Raptors were called for 23 fouls to the Clippers' 18, but the home team had 31 free throw attempts compared to just 14 for Toronto.
