Lowry exploded for 43 points (15-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-15 FT), nine assists, five rebounds, and four steals across 43 minutes during the Raptors' 99-97 victory versus the Cavaliers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry hit the game-winning step-back jumper with only a few seconds remaining, and his efficient performance lifted the team over the top-seeded Cavaliers, who are now only two games ahead of the Raptors. Lowry continues to be among the elite point guards in both fantasy and reality, and on a night where fellow All-Star DeMar DeRozan scored six points on one-for-11 shooting, Lowry's big day was certainly necessary.
