Kyle Lowry calls out fan who shoved him on sidelines: “Hopefully he never comes back to an NBA game”

A somewhat overlooked part of the Toronto Raptors’ 123-109 win over the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the NBA Finals was Kyle Lowry’s encounter with an angry fan.

While diving for a loose ball at approximately the midway mark through the third quarter, the Raptors jumped into the crowd and collided with courtside fans. Shortly after, an unidentified man shoved him in disgust while he was trying to get back on the court. Lowry expressed his disgust with the referees, which led to the fan getting ejected following the TV timeout.

Lowry was asked about the incident after the game, and didn’t hold back on his opinion of the fan’s actions.

“He had no reason to touch me” said Lowry.

“He had no reason to reach over two seats and then say some vulgar language to me. There’s no place for people like that in our league, and hopefully he never comes back to an NBA game.”

One thing we know for sure is a new fan will be sitting in that seat when the Warriors host the Raptors again for Game 4 on Friday.

The Miami Heat were so close to competing the comeback and heading off the NBA Finals.

They were down by two and had possession with less than 20 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Instead of managing the clock and waiting as long as possible to get a shot off, Butler tried to take advantage of having a wide open shot and fired off a transition three with no defenders around him with still 17 seconds left. Unfortunately for the Heat, Butler simply didn’t get enough lift into the shot and clanked it off the front of the rim.

By the end of it all, Celtics won by four and find themselves off to the next round while the Heat are forced to reminisce over what went wrong.

Pascal Siakam accomplished something that not a lot of players that failed to make the All-Star team can do.

The Toronto Raptors forward was officially selected to the 2022 edition of the All-NBA third team after receiving 42 third-team votes and seven second-team votes.

The 28-year old played exceptional on both ends of the floor, and bounced back after a rough pandemic-shortened campaign in Tampa Bay. He averaged 22.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists through 68 games in 2021/22.

Siakam is just the third player in franchise history to receive the honour (Vince Carter, DeMar DeRozan). It marks the second time in his career he was selected to an All-NBA team. He was previously selected to an All-NBA second team after an impressive All-Star season in 2019/2020.
