Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic ejected in expletive-filled tirade in embarrᴀssing 155-point meltdown

Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic had 155 reasons to be upset Thursday — well, 156 if you count the official’s no-call on Scottie Barnes’ driving layup attempt in the fourth quarter.

On a night when the Memphis Grizzlies set a new franchise record for points scored in a 155-126 victory, it was Rajakovic’s expletive-laden and ejection-prompting outburst that drew the loudest cheers from the FedEx Forum crowd.

The Grizzlies led 127-103 when the Raptors’ head coach lost his cool — embarking on a screaming tirade toward veteran referee J.T. Orr.
