TORONTO — Josh Jackson took one for the team Thursday night — to make a point.

Highly frustrated with the officiating, Jackson drew a second technical foul in the fourth quarter of Phoenix’s 111-109 loss to Toronto which ended with Pascal Siakam’s driving bucket the buzzer.

“We didn’t get no calls, man,” Jackson said. “Simple as that. I felt disrespected. That’s what happened, ultimately, and I don’t let nobody disrespect me. That’s what happened.”

Suns team security assistant Mark Spencer held Jackson back as he screamed at the referees after being ejected from the game.
