Kyle Lowry turned into a Heat coach during Game 4

Kyle Lowry was forced to miss Sunday’s Game 4 against the Atlanta Hawks with a hamstring injury, but that did not stop him from being heavily involved in his Miami Heat’s efforts.

Lowry was coaching his team hard on Sunday. He was seen on multiple occasions giving players tips on the sideline. At one point, Lowry even took over the Heat team huddle during a timeout.

That was not the only time Lowry took over, either. He pulled Tyler Herro aside during a stoppage of play in the first quarter to offer some pointers.

Lowry has been an NBA point guard since 2006 and is widely respected around the game as a veteran floor general.

In some ways, Lowry moonlighting as a coach bore some similarities to when LeBron James did it.

Perhaps Lowry’s coaching paid off. The Heat won the game 110-86, and they will have the opportunity to close out Atlanta at home on Tuesday.
