DeRozan, Lowry score 22 points apiece to lift Raptors to 107-84 win over Knicks
TORONTO — Kyle Lowry might have matched his season-high of 22 points Friday night, but it was one of his assists that will go down as arguably the play of the night.
Late in the first half, Lowry walked the ball up to just past halfcourt, nonchalantly pointed skyward before launching an alley-oop that DeMar DeRozan finished in spectacular fashion.
The Raptors’ backcourt mates had their way with New York in a 107-84 victory, DeRozan scoring 22 points and Lowry adding 10 assists in Toronto’s third consecutive win.
“That’s huge,” coach Dwane Casey said on the play of his two all-stars. “I think Kyle’s getting it back, you see the bounce in his step, the rhythm of his shot is coming back. DeMar is doing a good job of quarterbacking. . . he had seven assists, that’s huge, so 17 assists plus their points out of that group is huge.”
