Twitter Reaction: Biyombo’s phantom foul on collision with LeBron

Dwane Casey may not like the officiating in the Raptors series, but Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue thinks the refs are doing a good job making the calls when they count.

Things we learned in the first half of Game 4 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors:

1. Bismack Biyombo is all of our fathers.

2. He may or may not have fouled LeBron James in a collision at the rim, but probably didn’t, and was called for a foul anyways.

In the waning moments of the second quarter, James cut to the hoop for an alley-oop only to be met by the Raptors’ starting centre/spirit animal, who was called for his third foul of the game. Take a look below.

Given the Raptors attempted zero free throws in the first half and Biyombo had already been tagged with a questionable call earlier in the game, the foul call riled up what already might be the ACC’s loudest Raptors crowd yet.

And wouldn’t you know it, the Twitterverse had their say, too:
