Bismack Biyombo had perhaps his best game as a member of the Toronto Raptors on Saturday against the Washington Wizards. This, despite not scoring a single point and taking just a single field goal attempt.
The defense was at it’s usual effective level, and Biyombo had several highlight-reel blocks in the process. The Washington Wizards had a lot of trouble getting their attack game going, and the predictability of their drives began to allow the Raptors to better stay up on outside shooters and time their forays into passing lanes.

He finished with four blocks and a steal, and even somehow kicked in two assists. Call him Bismack Biyrondo.

More notable than even the defense Saturday was Biyombo’s work on the glass, where he hauled in 16 rebounds. That ties a Raptors record for the most rebounds in a game without scoring a single point. He joins Reggie Evans (October, 2010) as the only scoreless Raptor to grab 16 rebounds and joins luminaries like Popeye Jones and Jerome Moiso to go 0-and-10 for the franchise.
Biyombo finished one rebound shy of his career-high and eight off of Donyell Marshall’s franchise record of 24 in a game.
