They’re all capable, but I don’t want seven possessions in a row where they’re shooting seven straight shots. “Malcolm, Terence Davis, Rondae and Chris Boucher, I give them all the credit today,” Lowry said Sunday. Hollis-Jefferson set a tremendous screen, Boucher went hard down the lane and Lowry dished off for a Boucher dunk that gave the Raptors their final lead.
