A frustrated Pascal Siakam tripped Joel Embiid and it was obvious to everyone

Thursday night’s Game 3 between the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers has been a chippy one, with tensions running high on both sides.

In the first half we saw Ben Simmons catch Kyle Lowry with an elbow to the groin, which looked like it hurt a bit.

While that one was pretty sneaky, Pascal Siakam attempt to trip Joel Embiid during the fourth quarter was pretty clear as day.

It happened right after Embiid denied Siakim’s drive to the basket by easily blocking his shot. Siakim, who was knocked to the ground on the block, was clearly frustrated and swung out his leg in an attempt to trip Embiid, who went flying to the ground because he’s a great actor.

And it earned Siakim a Flagrant 1 foul:

I’m not sure what you need to do to get ejected. That was a dirty play. Siakam and the Raptors got lucky.
