Lowry doesn't blame Wizards' Beal for waving him goodbye

Kyle Lowry is taking Bradley Beal's sarcastic wave after Lowry fouled out of Game 1 of Saturday's Washington Wizards-Toronto Raptors series as a compliment.

"I would have done the same thing," the Toronto point guard told reporters Sunday. "If you get one of the best players off the floor, you should be happy out it."

Beal's slick move got Lowry called for his sixth with 2:35 left in the fourth quarter. Lowry's fouling out came in the midst of a 21-8 Raptors run which forced overtime, but Toronto came up empty - scoring four points - in the extra period.
