LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Kyle Lowry kept preaching to the Toronto Raptors throughout Game 7 against the Boston Celtics on Friday night that this was their game. No matter the deficit, the mishaps or the mental fatigue of a grueling seven-game series, Lowry stayed consistent.
“We got this,” the 14-year veteran shouted to his teammates midway through the fourth quarter.
It’s that confidence and leadership that powered their resurgence after nearly falling behind 3-0 in the series. It took an exceptional inbound pass by Lowry and an even more stunning 3-pointer by OG Anunoby to get the team’s first win of the series in Game 3.
