That is, during the fourth quarter with his team down 125-103, Rajakovi? completely lost it, as he got in the face of the referees.

The frustration was seemingly a result of Dark being upset with a no-call as he felt his players were getting hacked.
The 45-year-old was seen mouthing the words, "Call the f***ing foul," along with what may have been an array of Serbian cuss words.

As Darko spent the rest of the game in the locker room, the Grizzlies players were having a laugh at what they just witnessed.
The end result was a 155-126 blowout, which means the Raptors have now fallen to a 7-24 record and are on the verge of another disappointing season.
On the bright side, Toronto is tanking great this season and are currently in the running to maintain a high lottery draft pick.
To point out, this isn't the first time that Rajakovi? was infuriated with the refs, as back during last season he was fined $25k for going off on the refs after a 132-131 loss to the Lakers.

That is, it is yet to be seen how much Adam Silver will fine Darko this time, considering he is a second-time offender.
