Paul George and Kyle Lowry nearly come to blows (Video)

Indiana Pacers small forward Paul George and Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry get themselves tangled up during Game 5 of their first round series.

In the pivotal Game 5 of the first round Eastern Conference Playoff series between the No. 2 seeded Toronto Raptors and the No. 7 seeded Indiana Pacers, there was nearly a full-fledged fight.

Arguably the game’s two biggest stars, Toronto point guard Kyle Lowry and Indiana small forward Paul George get themselves tangled up fighting for a loose ball and things got crazy very quickly.

On the way to the ground to fight for the loose ball, while George ends up coming up with it, Lowry clearly locks arms with George as they tumble to the ground with Toronto small forward DeMarre Carroll very much in the mix for that loose ball.

This agitated George and he then proceeded to shove Lowry while on the ground, resulting in a technical foul for George. Fate would have it that the struggling Toronto shooting guard DeMar DeRozan would then proceed to miss the technical free throw.

Toronto was a heavy favorite entering this No. 2/No. 7 series, but it seems that Indiana isn’t going down without a fight. The Raptors have still yet to advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals with their corps intact.
