Kyle Lowry had a shot to clinch the Toronto Raptors' first NBA championship in franchise history at the buzzer in Monday night's Game 5, but the ball collided with Draymond Green's fingertips and the side of the backboard instead of the net.

As a result, the Golden State Warriors prevailed 106-105 to force a Game 6 in the NBA Finals.

After the loss, Lowry walked through the last play:

The Warriors took a 106-103 lead off a Klay Thompson three-pointer with 57.6 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, but the Raptors found themselves with the last possession and only a one-point deficit after DeMarcus Cousins committed an offensive foul with 15.7 seconds left.

Lowry finished with 18 points, while Kawhi Leonard led Toronto with 26 points.

The Raptors' next chance to clinch will come Thursday night at Oracle Arena.
