Lowry scored 20 of his 32 points during the fourth quarter, leading Toronto on an improbable, unstoppable barrage and head coach Nick Nurse summed up the feelings of those in attendance quite succinctly.
“I've never seen anything like it,” Nurse said post-game, according to TSN’s Josh Lewenberg.
After the game, Lowry gave all the credit to his teammates.
