”It was like a funeral in here,” Lowry said of the halftime mood in the Raptors’ locker room. Carroll provided what Lowry called the intangibles, leaving the scoring to the likes of Jonas Valanciunas, who had 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Norman Powell, who chipped in with 18 points. Lowry tied his season high for 3-pointers, going 6 of 14 beyond the arc as the Raptors beat the Pelicans for the third straight time and ninth time in the teams’ last 11 meetings.
Luka Doncic capped a fantastic night that saw him score 36 points and grab 14 rebounds with his 19th assist, a between-his-legs pass past Giannis Antetokounmpo that Maxi Kleber slammed home to cap off the Mavericks’ 136-132 overtime win over the Bucks.
Chris Paul was ejected by Scott Foster on Wednesday night. It was another in a long list of incidents between Paul and Foster. Postgame, Paul said Foster has made it personal.
“It’s personal,” Paul said. “We had a situation some years ago and it’s personal. The league knows. Everybody knows. There was a meeting and all of that. … I’m OK with a ref saying whatever they’re saying, but don’t use a tech to get your point across.”
In a postgame pool report, Foster said Paul was issued each technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct. It was the seventh ejection in Paul’s career.
Multiple current and former players called out Foster’s behavior towards Paul. Many referenced that the two have had issues for years and encouraged the NBA to step in and take action. For Paul’s part, he knows he has to avoid letting Foster rile him, especially in an important game.
“I’ve got to do a better job at staying there for my teammates, but it is what it is,” Paul said. “I’ll probably see [Foster] in a Game 7 sometime soon.”
