SALT LAKE CITY—Kyle Lowry took advantage of a depleted Utah guard corps by scoring a season-high 36 points, including 19 in the fourth quarter, to lead the Toronto Raptors to a 104-98 victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday night.
Lowry was nearly unstoppable as he pulled up for three-pointers and drove the lane, unfazed by the lurking Rudy Gobert. The point guard shot 9 for 10 in the final quarter, helping the Raptors set a franchise record with six straight wins on the road.
The Jazz led 84-83 with the crowd in full throat before Lowry — who left briefly for stitches in the third quarter after colliding with Gordon Hayward — took over the game with dazzling drives and high-arcing jumpers.
