8) Bismack Biyombo Blocks, I Mean, “Fouls” LeBron James

Watch it again and tell me where the foul is.

We all know this was a “superstar call,” but that doesn’t change the impact this block, yes, I’m calling it a block, had on this game. Down 0-2 in the series, this moment set a tone for the Raptors that they weren’t going to back down from the Cavs.

It also reinvigorated the fan base as Biyombo called for noise from the crowd following the play, which I’m sure pedestrians roaming the downtown core could hear. Despite this play being called a foul, it was the kind of holy expletive moment every Raptors fan will remember.
