Lowry scores a season-high 36 to lead Toronto over Utah
SALT LAKE CITY — The only thing that could stop Kyle Lowry against Utah was a collision with Gordon Hayward that resulted in a cut above his lip.
While Lowry was out getting a couple of stitches in the third quarter, the Jazz regained the lead but the Toronto Raptors point guard returned with even more determination.
Lowry took advantage of a depleted Utah guard corps by scoring a season-high 36 points, including 19 in the fourth quarter, to lead the Raptors to a 104-98 victory over the Jazz on Friday night.
“For me, it’s all about winning games. That’s all that matters. I’ll do whatever it takes to win games,” Lowry said.
