Kyle Lowry is not a traditional triple-double machine like Russell Westbrook or James Harden. Lowry had just one last season.
But he got his first of this season Friday night against the Lakers with 11 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds. It is his eighth triple-double for the Raptors total.
Lowry found a lot of room to operate against the Lonzo Ball and the rest of the Lakers’ defense, and that gave him room to make passes and knock down threes. The Raptors got the win 101-92, and DeMar DeRozan had 24 points.
