As if things weren’t already bad enough for the Toronto Raptors during their series against the Cleveland Cavaliers, a team official has now been slapped with a hefty fine for his behavior during Game 3 on Saturday.
The NBA announced on Sunday that Raptors president Masai Ujiri has been fined $25,000 for walking onto the court during halftime of Game 3 to “verbally confront game officials.”

It appears Ujiri began arguing with officials after Serge Ibaka was called for a foul.
Not only is Dwane Casey hot about reversing that foul on Ibaka from shooting to out of bounds, Raptors GM Masai Ujiri was just courtside yelling at refs.

The Raptors are trailing Cleveland 3-0 in the series, and LeBron James may have unofficially ended their season with the way he finished off Game 3.
