There is no doubt about it: 2014 has been good to Lowry and, in turn, the Raptors. His steady production (16.8 points, 7.6 assists and 4.3 boards) has certainly place the Raptors in the middle of the Eastern Conference playoff race (as of this morning they are in fourth place there). If the Raptors wind up with the Atlantic Division crown, that would would certainly be a stunning finish overall. Most people predicted they’d fight it out with the Boston Celtics to avoid the last-place slot. If the Raptors do keep this going, Lowry’s fingerprints will be all over this Toronto hoops.
