"Kyle Lowry blamed himself. He has done that before. It's a pretty stand-up way to react to a poor game. But this was different.

Lowry missed his first 13 shots on Wednesday, but this time, Lowry was not talking about his shot.

"When they went on their runs, we put our heads down," Lowry said. "That's partly me. That's something I did as a leader. I take that loss on me. They made a shot, we put our heads down, walked the ball up, didn't play our game. It was a bad outing for myself. When I put my head down, my teammates follow me.""
