Raptors' Biyombo faces Game 7 suspension after flagrant foul

TORONTO — Raptors center Bismack Biyombo faces a suspension for a potential Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals after picking up a flagrant foul in the first quarter of Game 6 on Friday night.

Biyombo's flagrant foul 1 for elbowing Cleveland's Kevin Love gave him four flagrant foul points in the postseason, which would trigger a one-game suspension unless it is rescinded by the NBA.

Biyombo knocked Love to the ground while spinning for a basket with 3:18 remaining in the period. Referees reviewed the play, called the flagrant and waved off the basket.

In Toronto's Game 3 win, Biyombo was called for a flagrant foul for a high tackle on LeBron James.
