After Kyle Lowry's Game 2 exit created a considerable stir across NBA circles, Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey made sure to go on record to clear the air surrounding his point guard's sudden disappearance.

"Kyle did not walk out on his team," Casey told reporters on Friday. "He and Cory Joseph use the bathroom more than any two human beings I know."

With Lowry on pace for another poor game, the All-Star point guard had many believing that he had his walkout had more to do with his poor performance, and less do with his bladder.

"It's whatever. I think it's an overreaction personally. I've done it countless times," Lowry told reporters.

While Lowry said after the game that he left the court to "decompress," it had little effect on his second-half performance, as he finished with just 10 points in the 108-89 defeat.
