DALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie took issue with referee Tony Brothers' actions during Friday night's 111-110 win over the Toronto Raptors, accusing the veteran official of wrongly whistling him for a technical foul and then using profane language to describe him while speaking to one of his Dallas teammates.
Brothers called the technical foul on Dinwiddie with 47.8 seconds remaining in the second quarter, when Dinwiddie approached him to protest a take foul call. Dinwiddie said he might have used a curse word while protesting but not in a derogatory manner.
