Kyle Lowry has made a name for himself as being one of the toughest guards in the NBA today. The feisty court general for the Toronto Raptors has earned his stripes with his physicality and his never-back-down attitude.

In the Raptors' game against the Orlando Magic on Sunday, the six-time All-Star was heated after being on a receiving end of a huge shoulder check from Aaron Gordon away from the ball. Gordon was called for the flagrant foul and it seemed as though he got his revenge for their previous altercation in the bubble.

The two got into it in their previous game and Gordon clearly hasn't forgotten that hard foul last August. AG also didn't appreciate Lowry's rather low box out on him on the previous play, which seemed to have caught the same knee he hyperextended in the bubble.

Check out the play right before Gordon was called for the flagrant foul on the Raptors guard (via Dan Savage of the OrlandoMagic.com):

Lowry, as always, wasn't having it. He was seen spitting some NSFW threats toward Gordon as he talked with former Raptors swingman Terrence Ross.

“Hey T-Ross, I'm gonna f-ck him up,” the Raptors playmaker seemingly said (via NBA Retweet).

Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed and nothing messy happened afterwards. Kyle Lowry was able to stay in the game and helped the Raptors break their two-game losing skid with a 115-102 win. He ended the evening with 12 points and 15 assists.

Aaron Gordon, for his part, was rather unlucky. Aside from being called for the flagrant, he had to leave the game in the third quarter after injuring his left ankle.
