“Okay, let’s talk a little about last night’s game. You beat the Raptors very, very easily. But you’re up 23, and Canadian Tristan Thompson goes for a dunk with just a few seconds left. Obviously, the Raptor players weren’t happy about it. Their coach called it ‘no class,’ ‘disrespectful.’ What’s going on here? Why?” Darius Garland: “I wish I knew, man. He’s gonna do whatever he wants to do. They were playing hard; he wanted to continue playing hard. He wanted to go dunk it, and this was the result. I mean, there was a lot of commotion. -via YouTube / February 13, 2025
Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said Cleveland center Tristan Thompson was “disrespectful” for dunking with four seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of the Cavaliers’ 131-108 victory Wednesday night. As fans booed, Raptors players Scottie Barnes and Jamal Shead confronted Thompson after the final buzzer to express their displeasure at the late two-handed slam. “I think what Tristan did there was no class and disrespectful,” Rajakovic said. “I’m not going to stand for that, for sure. I love when my team stands up for themselves. That was no class.” -via ESPN / February 13, 2025
