Lowry triple-double sparks Raptors past Nets

All-star Kyle Lowry battles flu and courtside camera on way to victory in Brooklyn.

Brook Lopez, left, and the Nets paid close attention to Raptors all-star Kyle Lowry in Brooklyn. Lowry still managed a triple-double.

BROOKLYN, N.Y.—The fact the opposition was the worst team in the NBA didn’t mean a thing to the stumbling and bumbling Toronto Raptors on Sunday.

They needed a win, no matter the competition. And Kyle Lowry, flu-ridden and stitched up, made it happen.

After missing Saturday’s practice because he wasn’t feeling well, and sliced for a four-stitch cut on his right forearm after running into a camera mounted on a basket stanchion early in the game, Lowry had 15 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds as the Raptors beat the Brooklyn Nets 103-95 at the Barclays Center.
