Kyle Lowry just reminded everyone why you never leave a game early.
The Toronto Raptors point guard hit an incredible game-tying half-court buzzer beater to send Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Miami Heat into overtime.

Kyle Lowry hits from half court at the buzzer to force OT!
Lowry was 7-48 (15%) from three in this postseason before that shot

The shot was Lowry’s only made 3-pointer of the night, as he finished 1 for 7 from beyond the arc and just 3 for 13 with seven points.
His heroics were all for naught, though, as the Raptors couldn’t hold off Dwyane Wade and the Heat in OT en route to a 102-96 loss.
