Bismack Biyombo owns Dwyane Wade on dunk (Video)
By John Buhler
Bismack Biyombo is having a fantastic series for the Toronto Raptors as he completely embarrasses the Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade on this thunderous jam.
When Toronto Raptors starting center Jonas Valanciunas went down with a sprained right ankle for the rest of the Eastern Conference Semifinals versus the Miami Heat, the Raptors didn’t seem like they were going to be able to survive that crushing injury.
However, when Heat center Hassan Whiteside went down, it became the Bismack Biyombo series for the Raptors. The defensive-minded big man has been sensational in this second-round series with great blocks, clutch rebounds, and highlight reel dunks. Watch him absolutely embarrass Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade on this Game 7 jam.
Up 88-80 early in the fourth quarter of Game 7 at home versus the Heat, backup point guard Cory Joseph orchestrates a magnificent pick and roll with Biyombo. Biyombo uses his bigger body to misdirect Heat point guard Goran Dragic well outside of the key.
This draws the attention of Heat forward Josh McRoberts who then has to pick up the primary ball handler Joseph. Joseph perfectly times a bounce pass to Biyombo near the free throw line. Biyombo takes off and Wade had absolutely no business trying to block the seven-footer’s powerful dunk.
In this best-of-seven series, the team that features the better play from its starting back court has won all six games. With Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan playing out of his mind, the Raptors could very well end up playing in their first Eastern Conference Finals in team history.
