Lowry scored 33 points (11-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 41 minutes during Saturday’s Game 3 win over the Heat.

After a quiet first half, and indeed a quiet postseason coming into Saturday, Lowry exploded for 29 points after the break, driving the paint almost at will after Miami center Hassan Whiteside left the game with a knee injury. With Whiteside’s status unknown going forward, and the Heat lacking any other rim protectors, Lowry could be primed for a big finish to the series. The teams will meet again Monday night in Miami for Game 4.
