The Scotiabank Arena crowd let out a collective groan when Kyle Lowry's two free throws bluntly bounced off the rim in the third quarter Saturday night.
It was Lowry's night summed up in two off-target shots. The five-time all-star point guard went on to score zero points, missing on several wide-open shots, and the Toronto Raptors dropped Game 1 of their playoff opener 104-101 to Orlando.
"We've seen him dominate games while scoring only 10 points," VanVleet said. "You know how it goes. He's not a player whose points define how impactful he was on the game. Obviously, nobody wants to go 0-for-7 in a playoff game. "So what do you say? I say to him you are going to have to take these shots. They are rhythm -- of the six threes, five of them were wide open. Those are shots he's going to have to take and he's going to continue to take them.""People are saying stuff about Kyle," he said. "He eight assists, two turnovers, he missed some shots he won't miss next time and they were when he was on the floor.Orlando guard D.J.
"Hopefully the in and outs go out and in, and maybe some of theirs go out," Nurse said. "They doubled us in free throws. They made 18 to our nine. That's a bad stat to win the game. And they made more threes than we did. That's another bad stat to win a game in this day and age. If you're gonna make more free throws and more threes, you're gonna have to battle."
