A. Lowry was instrumental in Thursday night’s win. With 26 points and 10 assists, he collected his third double-double since the All-Star break and looks rejuvenated for the stretch run.

He racked up 5 rebounds, 5 assists, a steal, a block and went 7-for-9 from the free-throw line. And one of Siakam’s most crucial makes was an impressive floater to put the Raptors up with four points, making it a two-possession game with 45.7 seconds left.
