It all started when Cavs big man Tristan Thompson got tangled up with Raptors center Bismack Biyombo, who was clearly frustrated with a recent no-call on Thompson. When Biyombo's teammate, DeMarre Carroll, tried to break them apart, he swung his arm into Thompson's arm, which grazed the oncoming James in the face.
James, perhaps thinking it was a possible punch, immediately backpedaled, dropped to the floor and slid nearly 10 feet from the initial contact. The scuffle resulted in technicals for the Raptors' Cory Joseph and Thompson after a brief review.
