3) Lowry’s Heroic Game 7 Performance

Stuck in a shooting rut that — although he says otherwise — was likely hindered by his elbow, Lowry delivered a Game 7 performance for the ages against the Miami Heat. His final stat line read: 35 points on 11-of-20 shooting, 5-of-7 from behind the arc, nine assists and seven rebounds in 42 minutes.

In a win-or-go-home game, it was only fitting that the Raptors heat and soul carried them to a victory. Aside from Vince Carter, you would be hard-pressed to find another player who had a bigger one-game playoff performance in Raptors history than the one Lowry had against the Heat.
