Kyle Lowry has probably played his last game of the season.
The Raptors trail the series 3-0. Not likely. According to Lowry himself (via the fantastic Eric Koreen of The Athletic). The Cavs gun for the sweep Sunday night at Air Canada Centre.
"Starting Tristan in that fourth quarter and Bron together when they went to that pick-and-roll instead of blitzing and being in scramble mode, we were able to switch and put Tristan on DeMar (DeRozan)", Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue said following Cleveland's 115-94 win. Tucker, Patrick Patterson and more as the direction of the Raptors has become ever unclear with a disheartening three games against the LeBron James & Co. His 22.4 points per game marked a career high and he chipped in with 7.0 assists per outing. The Cavs lead 3-0 and no team has ever dug out of such a hole in the National Basketball Association playoffs. Over a four minute stretch, he nearly single-handedly turned a seven point lead into nineteen and the Cavs never looked back.
The Toronto Raptors, down 3-0 and on the brink of extinction, may not have their point guard yet again when they play Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The last time Toronto lost three consecutive games was February 8-14.Last season when the teams met in the Eastern Conference finals, the Raptors won Game 3 and Game 4 at home after the Cavaliers won the first two games in Cleveland.

Moon was an adviser to the liberal administrations that embraced the policy of engagement and cooperation with North Korea. China has vowed appropriate response for THAAD missile batteries.
The Cavaliers have had their way in the series. Houston shot just 36.4 percent from the field and failed to rattle San Antonio, which was playing without injured point guard Tony Parker.
This postseason, James is averaging 34.3 points, 9 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, averaging 56.6% the field and 48.6% from behind the arc. Ariza totaled 17 points but had two after the intermission.
In Houston, Aldridge was especially unsafe from in the paint in game three as the Spurs took a 2-1 lead in the second-round Western Conference series.
Aldridge had managed just 19 points combined in the first two games, but stepped up in the wake of Parker's season-ending leg injury, scoring nine points in the fourth quarter to help the Spurs pull away. The Spurs won at home 103-92, to lead the series 2-1.
