Lowry is not at all a stranger to creating and beating records. He is also the seventh player in the history of the NBA to achieve 25 points and 10 assists in a Finals-clinching win. The other players who belong to this list are Larry Bird, LeBron James, Walt Frazier, Micheal Jordan, Stephen Curry, and James Worthy.

What’s next for Kyle?

As for the assists, his next target will be to cross Chauncy Billups ( 5,636), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ( 5,660) and Larry Bird (5,695). The Raptors have really outdone themselves this time and will be facing Orlando Magic on Thursday, August 6. The Raptors are second in the seeds and the Orlando Magic are 7th currently. This may mean that the Raptors won’t have a tough time against Magic.
