TORONTO: Dahntay Jones insisted Monday his groin shot on Bismack Biyombo at the end of Game 3 was not intentional and he was surprised by the one-game suspension he served during Game 4.
Asked if he meant to punch Biyombo below the waist, Jones responded, “not at all.” He said it was his responsibility to pick up Biyombo on the play.
