Kyle Lowry shoved by fan after landing out of bounds

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Kyle Lowry appeared to get shoved by a fan after the Toronto Raptors star crashed into a row of courtside seats while trying to save a ball from going out of bounds in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night.

Lowry scored 23 points and made several big shots in a 123-109 victory that gave the Raptors a 2-1 lead over Golden State. There was as much buzz about Lowry’s dust-up with the fan as his offense.

Lowry ran down a loose ball and jumped in the air as it was going out of bounds, not far from where Warriors owner Joe Lacob was sitting. Lowry knocked the ball into a referee and landed in the lap of one male fan who appeared to grab Lowry’s jersey with two hands.

A female who was standing nearby patted the veteran guard on his back. At the same time, a man wearing a blue shirt who was sitting down extended his left arm and gave Lowry a hard shove in his left shoulder.

Lowry got up and complained to officials, although nothing further happened.
