Basketball: Lowry inspires Raptors to force Game 7 with Celtics

Kyle Lowry inspired the Toronto Raptors to a 125-122 double overtime win to force a Game 7 with the Boston Celtics for a place in the Eastern Conference final. The six-time NBA All-Star scored 33 points, and had eight rebounds and six assists, in a tireless 53 minutes on court which included an impressive acrobatic jump shot with 11.7 seconds left. The reigning NBA champions showed their resilience throughout, never giving up despite trailing to the Celtics in the fourth quarter, as well as in both first and second overtime. Norman Powell also contributed with 23 points – 10 of them in the second overtime - with Fred VanVleet adding 21, while Serge Ibaka and OG Anunoby each grabbed 13 of their own.
