Kyle Lowry's 35 points against Heat send Raptors into East finals

Kyle Lowry earned a well-deserved standing ovation Sunday as he exited the game after leading the Toronto Raptors to a 116-89 Game 7 win against the Miami Heat.

Despite struggling with his shooting early in the postseason, Lowry scored 35 points with nine assists and seven rebounds to lead the Raptors to a date with the Cleveland Cavaliers for their first ever Eastern Conference finals appearance.

With this stellar performance, Lowry became the first player in Raptors history to record back-to-back 35-point playoff games.

DeMar DeRozan added 28 points to help the Raptors continue their best season in franchise history.
