LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Toronto Raptors forward DeMar DeRozan has been fined $15,000 for criticizing the officiating during his team’s loss to the Golden State Warriors at the weekend, the NBA said on Monday.

A frustrated DeRozan let rip at officials after the Raptors lost a thriller 127-125 on Saturday, complaining that the Warriors had received more decisions in their favor.

“I mean, it’s frustrating being out there feeling like you playing five on eight,” DeRozan said after the game at the Air Canada Centre.

“It’s just what it feel like. Period. Some of them calls was terrible. Period.”
