What It Means:

Lowry struggled with his shot -- going 5-for-13 from the field and 0-for-5 from three -- but made up for it by recording a season-high in rebounds while reaching double-digit assists for the only the second time in his past 15 games. The All-Star ran into a camera in the first quarter, requiring stitches, but still managed to play 39 minutes.

In the seven games played without DeMar DeRozan Lowry has thrived averaging 27.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 2.9 three-pointers per game.
