Biyombo sets Raptors franchise record with 26 rebounds in Game 3

Toronto Raptors center Bismack Biyombo gobbled up rebounds left, right, and center in a 99-84 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 on Saturday.

In 39 minutes of action, Biyombo scored seven points on 3-of-6 shooting, while also blocking four shots. His biggest impact came on the glass, though, where he grabbed 26 of Toronto's 54 boards, including eight offensive rebounds.

By doing so, the 23-year-old big man set a franchise record for the most rebounds in a game - playoff or regular season. He also held the previous record of 25, which he accomplished against the Indiana Pacers on March 17.

To put into perspective just how dominant he was around the rim, Biyombo's 26 rebounds were more than LeBron James, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, and Channing Frye had combined (23).

In fact, Biyombo had 21 rebounds at the end of the third quarter, making him the first Raptor to grab 20 or more in a postseason outing before the fourth even got underway.

He also becomes the fourth player to grab 25 or more in a playoff game since 1984, joining Hakeem Olajuwon, Tim Duncan, and Dwight Howard.

Biyombo is averaging 7.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, and two blocks through three games against the Cavaliers, who own a 2-1 lead in the series. He grabbed nine total boards in Games 1 and 2 at Quicken Loans Arena.
