It’s almost laughable how good he is in the biggest moments, how many big shots he hits, how many big plays he makes, how he leads with an iron will.
And almost every single time Kyle Lowry does what Lowry does, people are astonished.
Maybe that’s just what he is. Astonishing.
Lowry’s brilliance helped prolong the Raptors season on Wednesday night, as he had 33 points and as many big plays in Toronto’s 125-122 double-overtime triumph over the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of their Eastern semifinal series.
Lowry’s game, which also included eight rebounds, six assists and 53:28 of relentless time on the court, allowed Toronto to send the series to a deciding Game 7.
