Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam certainly didn't like what he deemed as “dirty plays” from Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid late in Game 4 of their playoff series.

Things got physical between Siakam and Embiid in the fourth quarter, with the Sixers center showing his frustration as his team fell behind. The peak of it all came with about three minutes remaining in the game and the Raptors up 101-89. JoJo fouled his fellow Cameroonian hard, which earned him a technical foul.

After the contest, Pascal Siakam hit back at Joel Embiid and advised him to just play basketball. While he is fine with the trash talking from the Sixers superstar, it is unacceptable for him to see an opponent resort to violence and try to hurt others.

“I'm a competitor. I love competing. This is the playoffs, the highest level. I'm cool with the talking, I just don't want those dirty plays. I don't like that. Keep it basketball… At the end of the day, it's all fake toughness,” Siakam said, per Josh Lewenberg of The Sports Network.

The Raptors won the game 110-102 to cut the Sixers' series lead to just 3-1 and avoid a sweep. Siakam was instrumental in the win and had the last laugh against Embiid, as he finished with 34 points, eight rebounds and five assists.

Embiid, for his part, had 21 points on topo of eight boards and three dimes.

The Sixers are still the favorites to win the series, but Siakam and his Raptors are showing they won't go down without a fight.
