Raptors use defence to even series with Heat: Arthur

It took one game for the second round of the NBA playoffs to turn into a Kyle Lowry psychodrama, and one game for it to turn back into a unanswered referendum on Toronto’s two stars. The Raptors survived the first round with Lowry and DeMar DeRozan missing shots at a near-historic rate, and then Lowry retreated somewhere strange in a Game 1 loss to Miami. They vowed it would be different, again. OK.

Except after Lowry looked like he was back it turned into the depths of the Indiana series, with different uniforms. The Raptors couldn’t shoot, from anywhere.
