This was called offensive goaltending on Bismack Biyombo. That's outrageous. #RTZ pic.twitter.com/kzTRJMTKz6

The NBA referees calling Game 6 of the Toronto Raptors-Miami Heat series on Friday night clearly saw something on this possession that the rest of the basketball world missed.
Going up for an offensive putback off a missed jumper, Raptors center Bismack Biyombo threw down a monstrous two-handed dunk which was eventually waived off. The nearby officials ruled that the ball was still hovering over the cylinder at the time.
They may want to check that play again afterwards, as it was apparent to everyone watching from afar that it was well off the rim.
That might be the worst basket interference/goal-tending call I've ever seen.
