Advice: My sales manager personally insulted me and my family. Should I confront him?

I have a problem, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do about it. I joined my current company a little less than a year ago, and overall, it's been a pretty decent run. Comp plan is solid, and I'm hitting my numbers every quarter.

But about a month ago, something happened. My manager and I got into an argument which escalated pretty quickly. Basically, he gave me a hard time for losing a deal that (in his opinion) we should've won, even though we got beat out on pricing and literally would've lost money if we'd tried to discount to match the competitor's pricing.The real problem is what he said to me when we were arguing. I'll admit that I should've probably just shut my mouth and not tried to defend myself when he was criticizing me, but when the conversation got heated, he said, "You can make excuses if you want, but then you're just gonna end up like your brother."
