Kyle Lowry hit 11-of-19 shots and six 3-pointers on his way to 36 points and six assists in Wednesday's thrilling Game-5 win over the Nets to give the Raptors a 3-2 lead in the series. The Raptors set a playoff high with 62 points in the first half, but then blew a 26-point lead after the Nets went on a late 32-10 run to tie the game. Things got weird at the end when Jonas Valanciunas nearly blew the game with a goal tend on a Deron Williams half-court attempt, but he was bailed out by the fact that Andray Blatche threw one of the worst passes ever to commit a backcourt violation with less than two seconds left in the game. Lowry was a beast and not only committed just one turnover, but ran circles around Deron, who just didn't look very good. Game 6 is Friday at Brooklyn.
