Raptors’ Kyle Lowry ties franchise record held by Damon Stoudamire

Kyle Lowry dished out his 10th assist of the game, tying Damon Stoudamire's team record of seven consecutive games with 10 or more assists.

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry has tied Damon Stoudamire for the most consecutive games with 10 or more assists by doing the feat in his seventh straight game.

Happening late in the the third quarter during the Raptors’ Friday-evening matchup with the Phoenix Suns, Lowry got the ball on the break, found a trailing Fred VanVleet at the wing, delivered it to him and he buried it from distance for Lowry’s 10th assist on the evening.

Coming into Friday’s game as the NBA’s assist leader, averaging 11.1 dimes per game, Lowry could become the new Raptors leader in this category Sunday when the team takes on the Los Angeles Lakers.

In total, Lowry finished with 12 assists on Friday in a 107-98 Raptors win that saw the team jump out to an 8-1 start on the season, another franchise record.
