Goran Dragic keeps getting smacked in the mouth for nothing.
Dragic took an accidental elbow from DeMar DeRozan in the face in Game 2 on Thursday. But instead of getting the charge, Dragic was slapped with a blocking foul and DeRozan toed the line for two free throws.
A bloodied Dragic tried to plead his case with officials, but was ultimately forced to the locker room early at halftime to get stitches. He came back with three stitches on the inside of his lip, and five on the outside as his tooth split through his lip.
Earlier this season, two of Dragic's teeth were knocked out but no foul was called on the play.
