TORONTO – On one memorable play Sunday afternoon, Kyle Lowry bolted to save a loose ball, and was running so hard he ran halfway up one of the exit tunnels. He needed to grab onto a railing to slow himself down.
Lowry, who’s built his game on hustle and hard work, was at his bulldog-best, scoring 22 points and doling out nine assists to lift the Raptors to their sixth consecutive victory – a 118-108 win over the struggling New York Knicks.
