Kyle Lowry

Getting just nine points, Toronto’s Kyle Lowry had the worst shooting performance for this year’s contest. He wasn’t expected tow in, but it seemed like he just wasn’t feeling it this year.

He set a lofty goal for himself, according to a tweet by SLAM magazine, but that didn’t come through.

While he didn’t do great at the three point contest, it’s safe to say he’s a major part of the Raptors’ plans to try and unseat the Cavaliers atop the Eastern Conference. Hopefully he’ll do better next time around, if he gets invited back.
