Kyle Lowry got his game back at the perfect time for the Toronto Raptors.
And the Miami Heat are in all kinds of trouble.
Shaking off epic playoff struggles, Lowry scored 33 points – including five straight to break a late tie – in a duel with Dwyane Wade to lift the Raptors to a 95-91 victory over the Heat on Saturday night in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
The Raptors lead the series 2-1. Game 4 is in Miami on Monday night.
“I felt like it was just a matter of time,” Lowry said.
He was a career 34 percent playoff shooter coming into Saturday, and was shooting 31 percent in these playoffs. But he connected on 11 of 19 shots, 5 of 8 from 3-point range.
