Raptors' Kyle Lowry explodes for 40 points
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry put on a clinic against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, making 13-of-18 from the field for 40 points with three rebounds, three assists and six 3-pointers in just 28 minutes.
What It Means:
Preseason caveats apply, but wow. Lowry lost a lot of weight this summer, and it's helping him transform his game. Coach Dwane Casey said Lowry will play off the ball more, which would be a positive based on his six treys tonight. Also, maybe the weight loss will help with his health, which as always been an issue.
Lowry will be off the board before the fourth round in most drafts -- and justifiably so. A season ago, Lowry averaged 17.8 points, 6.8 assists and 4.7 rebounds while hitting 1.9 three-pointers per game.
