Lowry rallies Raptors to sixth straight win, Warriors up next
Kyle Lowry tallied 24 points as the Nba-leading Toronto Raptors continued their dominance by storming back from a 17-point deficit to beat the resurgent Memphis Grizzlies 122-114.
Four-time all-star
Lowry, who also had six assists, has now scored in double figures in 16 consecutive games against the Grizzlies. “It was a good win. We put ourselves in a hole and we had to dig ourselves out, but we did what we had to do to win the game,” said Lowry.
Fred Vanvleet also scored 18 points for the Raptors who have won nine of the last 11 contests against the Grizzlies including three of the last four in Memphis.
Toronto used a three point shooting barrage halfway through the fourth quarter to wipe out a Grizzlies’ lead and seize command in front of a crowd of 14,100 at the Fedex Forum. The Raptors outscored the Southwest Division leading Memphis 17-2 during that stretch and would never trail again. Vanvleet drained three shots from beyond the arc in the fourth and Lowry finished with five of eight attempted threes. Vanvleet made all six shots he took in the game.
