BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- Most players go out of their way to give the impression they don't have a clue what's being written about them.
Kyle Lowry isn't like most players.
The All-Star guard for the Toronto Raptors has no problem admitting he reads plenty, and when it comes to the topic that has come to define Lowry -- his lack of playoff success -- he's happy to say something else: look closer.
"The last couple years, I've played great in the playoffs," Lowry told ESPN before he and the Raptors beat the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center Wednesday night.
