  1. Today, 9-27-19 is the first I have heard of this incident. Lowry was looking to save the ball from going out of bounds and retain control of it for his team, obviously. My issue, and has no doubt been expressed by others, is the disregard for people that were to be physically impacted by his actions. Running at a significant pace and leaping directly into the bodies of multiple players, IS going to get a negative reaction. Especially, since these were players on the opposing team. This is not only sports, but the NBA finals, so fair to say there is a bit of testosterone involved here..... OK, about 30 tons of it! The player needs to recognize that in saving the ball, he hurled himself directly into the opposing players bench and that WILL piss them off. It is reasonable to think that someone could easily get hurt, break a finger, maybe a broken nose by an elbow that comes flying from any one of several people. That being said, those players know that they would very likely do the exact same thing, regardless of which teams bench they happen to interact. If testosterone were not a factor here, this whole situation would have been much, much less heated. Lowry needs to accept that those players are going to be pissed off and the players need to understand they would do the same thing themselves. It was not the best idea for the owner to push / shove Lowry, but this was the testosterone speaking and more or less and instinctive reaction to the event. None of this acceptance is going to happen right then, but cooler heads need to prevail here. The league should have waited until after the game and approached all persons involved. A press conference should have been held where all people get to speak there peace and gotten it out of their systems. The VERY likely outcome would be that everyone would have come to understand that it is just "part of the game" and let it go. Lowry would have probably apologized, to some degree, for his actions and the owner would have likely done the same. Testosterone is the intangible ingredient here, but CANNOT be discounted. It is the motivation for 95% of the entire event.
