Kyle Lowry was having a terrible night, but the Toronto Raptors' All-Star point guard made up for it with one shot.
Lowry hit a halfcourt buzzer-beater to force OT on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Miami Heat.
Lowry was having a nightmare night, missing 10 of 12 shots and all six of his 3s. But he came through in the clutch to cap a frantic comeback and give the Raptors new life.
