After a rough four-game stretch where Kyle Lowry could not score in double digits, it looked like he was back to form as he scored 21 points in a blowout win against the Los Angeles Clippers. And after last night's performance against the Warriors, it is safe to conclude that he is indeed back to his usual form.

Lowry started the game hot, scoring 9 points to help the Raptors jump to a 31-22 first quarter lead. In the second quarter, at the 2:30 mark, he made a three-pointer from 28 feet to extend the Raptors' lead to as many as 16 points. They never looked back from there.

Lowry finished the game with 23 points on 9-for-18 shooting from the field. He also had 5 rebounds to go along with 12 assists, to register a crucial double-double on the road in the absence of All-Star Kawhi Leonard.
