There are some in the Toronto Raptors organization who were reportedly not pleased with Kyle Lowry flying to San Antonio on Monday to watch his alma mater, Villanova, play in the NCAA championship game, according to TSN's Josh Lewenberg.

Lowry's trip came the night before a crucial game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, in which the All-Star point guard had one of his worst performances of the season, finishing with five points on 2-of-11 shooting in a losing effort.

"I'm still a professional," Lowry said after the game, according to Lewenberg. "I'm still coming out here to do my job. I just missed shots. That's it. What I did last night was support my team, I got back here on time, I ain't miss nothing. I just missed some shots"

With five games remaining in the regular season, the Raptors (55-22) are only two games ahead of the Boston Celtics (53-24) after losing five of their last eight games. A loss to the Celtics on Wednesday night would give Boston the advantage in a potential tiebreaker between the two teams.
