New York (AFP) - Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dahntay Jones was suspended one game without pay by the NBA on Sunday for striking Toronto Raptors center Bismack Biyombo in the groin.
The incident happened with 17.6 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 99-84 Toronto home victory over the Cavaliers, which snapped Cleveland's 10-game win streak to open the playoffs.
The Cavaliers still have a 2-1 lead over the Raptors in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference finals with game four -- the contest Jones will miss -- on Monday at Toronto.
Democratic Republic of Congo center Biyombo pulled down 26 rebounds in a dominating performance Saturday, matching the most by any player in an NBA playoff game since 1984.
