Jonas Valanciunas almost single-handedly carried the Toronto Raptors to a 2-1 series lead over the Miami Heat, but unfortunately an ankle sprain suffered in Game 3 will keep him out for the duration. On the bright side for the Raps, that’s opened the door for Bismack Biyombo.

The Raptors got off to a flying start back home for Game 5, thanks in large part to a dominant defensive effort from their backup center. Biyombo channeled his inner Dikembe Mutombo on this play, blocking Dwyane Wade (his fourth of the half!) on one end before finishing the break with a monster jam on the other (via @RealGM):

It wasn’t shown in the Vine, but Biz completed the insane rejection with a Dikembe-style finger wag. Long live Biyombo!
