The 7 Best NBA Performances From Last Week: Butler Gets Buckets
5. Kyle Lowry vs. Utah Jazz
It's not often you see two great performances against this Jazz team, but it's even rarer that it happened twice in a three-day span this week. I guess that's what happens when you play two of the best point guards in the East in consecutive games.
The Toronto Raptors hosted the Jazz on Thursday night, but Kyle Lowry was anything but a polite host, tallying 33 points with 4 three-pointers, all on a true shooting percentage of 75.5%. He also made 9 of his 11 free throw tries while grabbing 6 rebounds and passing out 5 assists elsewhere on the court.
In Toronto's 101-93 victory, Lowry accounted for a cool 55.81 nERD. Though I'm sure it wasn't too cool for his opponents, who are luckily through seeing the All-Star point guard for the remainder of this regular season.
Man, the Jazz have seen enough of Kyle Lowry for a while.
