It was a huge day for Miami Heat's new guard Kyle Lowry he ended up moving past the great Kobe Bryant in all-time threes made in his Heat debut.
The former NBA champion finally got his name on the board in the third quarter with his first three-pointer for the Heat which put him past the Los Angeles Lakers icon to put him in the 18th place of the NBA's all-time list of 3PTM (via Ira Winderman of Florida Sun Sentinel).

Bean would be proud.
It was a slow start for the 35-year old vet as his much-anticipated Heat debut was off to a rocky start with him limping off the floor early in the second quarter. Fortunately, Lowry's ankle injury wasn't too bad that he was able to step back on the court to lead the Heat keep the defending champs at bay.
Aside from his outside sniping, what head coach Erik Spoelstra is really relying on when it comes to Kyle Lowry is his leadership. Putting him side-by-side with a guy like Jimmy Butler brings a ton of stability to the Heat squad which has also added a few more key vets this summer like PJ Tucker and Markieff Morris.
