LOS ANGELES, USA – Toronto Raptors forward DeMar DeRozan has been fined $15,000 (12,200 euros) for criticizing the officiating during his team’s loss to the Golden State Warriors at the weekend, the NBA said on Monday, January 15.

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.
