Earlier this week, I wrote about Kyle Lowry’s clutch performance against the New Orleans Pelicans, scoring nine straight fourth-quarter points. It was a nice jolt to turn an otherwise pedestrian Lowry game into something notable.
But in the Miami Heat’s subsequent two wins to take them to a season-best six games above .500 — against a depleted Boston Celtics team and the Orlando Magic last night — Lowry has sat the entire fourth quarter both times.
The easy answer is that Lowry didn’t score much in either game.
