“It’s pretty much been all year,” Lowry said of Toronto’s inability to close out the final minutes of any period. That’s been especially true in the final two minutes or so of quarters or halves, which is when the Cavs have dominated. And the further a team goes in the post-season, the shorter the inevitable lapses can be in any specific game. All the great teams finish quarters and halves well and we have to find a way to keep the pace up. If we keep the pace up and the tempo up in our favour, it’ll work for us well.”
