Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry banked a three-point shot to beat the halftime buzzer to close out the first half of Wednesday night's Game 5 of their Eastern Conference first round playoff series against Brooklyn.
With the Nets turning the ball over with 2 seconds left in the first half, Lowry took the inbounds pass, split a pair of defenders and made the leaping three-point shot over Paul Pierce, banking it off the glass.
Lowry led the Raptors with 36 points, and they needed every one of them to hold off a late comeback by the Nets and finish off a 115-113 victory to grab a 3-2 series lead.
