Kyle Lowry has said that making a slow start to the fourth quarter hurt the Toronto Raptors against the Miami Heat.
The Canadian side were ahead in the contest heading into the final 12 minutes, but LeBron James led a late charge to rescue the defending NBA champions.
The point guard told reporters: "They got more aggressive. We weren't attacking as much in transition.
"First three quarters we were able to get out and run a little bit more. The quarter started very slow for us and it really hurt us."
The 102-97 defeat ends a five-game winning streak for the Raptors.
