Cleveland lost a tough one in Toronto. The Cavs led 91-82 at the 5:37 mark, but lost the battle to Kyle Lowry and a collection whistle happy officials that sent Kyle to the line 15 times. As LeBron said, the Cavs made “mental mistake after mental mistake” late in the game and blew a nine point lead. Lowry scored 43 in 43 minutes, dropped nine dimes, grabbed five boards, and pilfered four steals, while only turning it over twice. Lowry definitely bested Kyrie Irving and Matthew Dellavedova at the guard spot who only combined for 18 points and four assists.
Recap: Toronto 99, Cleveland 97 (Or, the time Kyle Lowry was the best player in the Eastern Conference)
