The Raptors needed to pull off something special in Game 3 last night in order to slow the juggernaut Cavs on their warpath to post-season perfection. And something special was delivered. It may have taken the form of Kyle Lowry dropping some sweet dimes, or Bismack Biyombo going in for some immaculate stuffs—or even Toronto native Cory Joseph putting on a rare show. But it mostly took the form of some weird-ass chippiness that often slowed the game to a crawl.

But, Biyombo may have been picking up some repeat offender prejudice as he came up with this incredible block on LeBron earlier on in the game, which was by no definition a foul. That is, unless you're counting the foul of LeBron's elbow to Bismack's juggular—and again, selling the dive. LeBroni Giacomo, the Italian soccer player.
And if you thought the awkward scrappiness and unresolved physical tension was over, you'd be dead wrong. The final blow came to Biyombo (poor Biyombo), as Dahntay Jones hinged his right arm straight into Biyombo's Toronto Raptors, if you know what I mean.It's a bizarre way to win a game—still reeling from a shot to the groin. But if that's the kind of throbbing, awkward pain it takes to defeat these seemingly unstoppbale Cavs at 99-84, take all the nut-shots you can get, Toronto.Great Block by BIYOMBO! Have no idea how this was a foul https://t.co/IQzKddfhVg
