Here’s the Toronto Sun reporting on Raptors guard Kyle Lowry, who is going wild lately. It’s just preseason, but this is still a good sign:
Kyle Lowry continued his torrid pre-season play, bettering his previous two outings, which were quite impressive themselves with a ridiculous 40-point performance in 28 minutes in Toronto’s 112-107 victory.
“He was hot as a firecracker. We aren’t running a lot of plays for him, but the ball is finding him,” Casey said.
Only Vince Carter (38 points) had ever topped 35 in a pre-season contest, but Lowry caught fire in the third quarter, adding 18 points, to his first-half total of 22. Lowry 6-of-7 three-point attempts, before missing a couple of heat checks later on.
Not that he was impressed.
“Not a damn thing,” was Lowry’s response after he was informed about the accomplishment.
“It’s only pre-season … for me, it’s about maintaining. Start off well, finish well.”
