Raptors-Nuggets game ends in controversial fashion with Scottie Barnes ejected

The Toronto Raptors appeared to be on their way to one of their most impressive wins of the season on Monday, outplaying the Western Conference-leading Denver Nuggets for the vast majority of the evening.

But things unravelled for Toronto in the dying minutes, with the team finding itself on the wrong end of back-to-back coach's challenges before a soft foul call on Jakob Poeltl led to a Scottie Barnes ejection. Denver would hit the ensuing free-throws to ice the 118-113 win.

Scottie Barnes was ejected for the first time in his career on this play in the final seconds of the game.
