“F–king Unbelievable”: Raptors Star Kyle Lowry Left Awestruck After Teammate’s Final Play Against Celtics
Follow Us
The Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics game 6 was a live-wire. In the clutch moments of the second overtime, chances were high that the game will push into a third overtime. But the Raptors finally won 125-122. They became only the third franchise ever to enter a Game 7 after a multiple-OT win.
For the Raptors, Marc Gasol finally scored his first couple of three-pointers in the series. Fred VanVleet scored three of those, but with a poor accuracy of 23.1%. However, the two stars that totally outshined, especially during the tail of the game, were Kyle Lowry and Norman Powell.

The Toronto Raptors and those nail-biting OTs!
Norman Powell had one heck of a day. He scored 23 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 1 block. His field goal accuracy of 54.5% tells a lot about the form he was in. The 6’3” guard was a great companion to the unstoppable Kyle Lowry who scored the most- 33 points in the game, including 6 three-pointers.
In the post-game media conference, Kyle Lowry made it a point to praise his teammate in a quirky way. He first asked the journalist, “Can I say what I really wanna say?” Just as he received a “Yay”, Lowry exclaimed, “F*** that was great! Thank you, Norm. That was f–king unbelievable. S–t. That was cool. We needed that.”

Norman Powell was another man today!
Norman did not have a very good past five games. His NBA Playoffs 2020 average of 13.6 points is well below his regular-season average of 16 points per game. But he has repeatedly shown that he can bring a different game in play whenever big things are at stake. Remember his Game 3 performance against the Milwaukee Bucks last year? He scored 19 crucial points that night to save the game.

In Game 6, he missed converting a buzzer-beater in the OT when the scores were locked at 106-106. He scored 15 of his 23 points in the OTs. He added a perfect 7/7 from the free-throw line and an overall 8/9 in the match. Norman flamed up in the OTs, and that’s how Kyle Lowry got his support. Otherwise, the Celtics had all the capacity to ruin Lowry’s three-point-party in the game.
Let’s see if Norman can stay this competitive in the most important game of the series or not.
