"I gotta play better, I'm playing terrible," Lowry said after the tough loss. "It is what it is. I'm out there, so I gotta do a better job." 

The Heat now trail the series 3-2, so the Celtics can win the entire series in Game 6 back in Boston.   

After Game 3, the Heat had a 2-1 lead, but the Celtics were able to regain the momentum in the last two games of the series.  

Lowry has been dealing with a hamstring since Game 3 of the first-round against the Atlanta Hawks. 

He has missed several games in each of the three playoff series that the Heat have been in.
