L2M report: Biyombo got away with foul on Lowry's game-clinching layup

The NBA's last-two-minute report from Game 4 between the Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers was far easier on the eyes than most such missives have been during this chaotic postseason.

While other reports have listed as many as five blown calls in the final 13 seconds of regulation, Monday's game produced just one, according to the league's official review. Unfortunately for the Cavs, it went against them, and it came on a pretty crucial possession.

As Kyle Lowry blew past J.R. Smith for the layup that put the Raptors up six with 22 seconds to play, Bismack Biyombo got away with holding Tristan Thompson, preventing the Cavs big man from challenging Lowry at the rim.

The Cavs would've been down two possessions with under 30 seconds even if the foul had been called, but the layup effectively put the game out of reach.
