Based on last night’s postgame audio, sounds like there’s some level of doubt that Kyle Lowry plays tomorrow. Heat -11 w/ him on the court this series. Given his current state, you might even argue the Heat are better with him out. But, plays like this are super valuable. pic.twitter.com/RSwwELUAng – 2:02 PM

Kyle Lowry says the team is getting good shots:
“Vic got some good looks. Tyler, good looks. Gabe, good looks. PJ, good looks. We just literally made 7 threes.”
“I’m positive, I’m confident we’ll make those threes next game.” – 11:38 PM

How limiting is Lowry’s hamstring? I’ll put it this way, you don’t want to play with it. But we’re in the playoffs & we’re in a hostile environment. We’re in this together no matter & I’m trying to be out there for my guys no matter what happens, no matter what the situation is.” – 11:35 PM

Naturally, nobody on TV pointed it out, but Lowry is only occasionally, if that, helping the Heat. Miami won the first two games without him, granted at home. So why bring him back when he appears to be considerably slowed down by a hamstring he often touches? – 11:27 PM

Butler’s brilliance (32 and counting) keeping Heat afloat (down 89-85 after 3) despite Miami missing 23 of 28 threes.. and foul trouble for Bam and Tucker… and Lowry’s hamstring. Heat a plus 5 for that long stretch with Bam on bench and Embiid in the game. – 10:01 PM

If I had to guess, I think that hamstring tightens up over the next 24 hours and Lowry misses next game
He can push through now, but doubt after this
Just IMO – 9:57 PM

Kyle Lowry just threw his arm down in disgust after missing his sixth 3-pointer of the night. Lowry is now 2-for-13 overall and 0-for-8 from 3 in the two games here in Philly. He’s clearly battling through his hamstring issue, but is not himself. – 9:39 PM

Bad pick-six by Maxey, but Lowry came back from that fast break bucket waddling.
And then Embiid puts Adebayo on bench with and-one – 9:33 PM

Lowry is now 1-for-10 in this series through a game and a half. He’s impacting the Heat in other ways — but he isn’t providing an offensive lift yet. Adebayo looks more aggressive tonight compared to Game 3. Question remains the same for Heat: Who will step up and help Butler? – 9:11 PM

Kyle Lowry is coming out of the game after going down hard on that last possession. He’s walking’s straight back to Miami’s locker room.
He’s been grabbing at his hamstring for large chunks of this first half. He came back in Game 3 after missing the prior four games. – 8:50 PM

Miami has done a great job pushing the ball and getting early offense against the Sixers with Reed in the game. Lowry as always the leader of that.
Huge Bam stretch against the Sixers with Embiid out of the game. Think Doc is gonna have to think about that moving forward. – 8:46 PM
