Kyle Lowry’s return to Scotiabank Arena as a visiting player was long overdue — and yet somehow, even with all these months of preparation, it was also something that I still wasn’t prepared to see.
After missing the previous Toronto Raptors vs. Miami Heat game in Toronto (one that was played with no fans, anyway), Lowry finally made his way north of the border with the Heat last night. Following a touching pre-game celebration, the Raptors controlled the first half — but Lowry’s Heat outscored Toronto 69-54 after halftime en route to a 114-109 victory.
