Dwane Casey loves to finish games by trotting out the two-point-guard backcourt of Kyle Lowry and Cory Joseph because it gives the Toronto Raptors more versatility — a couple of ball-handlers, solid decision-makers and good free-throw shooters for those crucial end-of-game possessions.
But despite how interchangeable they are, the Raptors head coach made it clear on Saturday night that a subtle change in tactics is necessary and coming.
Often this year, it has been Joseph initiating a lot of the offence, allowing Lowry to act as a spot-up shooter. It is a good division of responsibility because Lowry is a more reliable shooter at this point in the season.
