We have another Game 7 on our hands. The Milwaukee Bucks were in control for the majority of the night in their Game 6 matchup with the Brooklyn Nets and came away with a 104-89 victory, in the end, to keep their championship hopes alive.
Kevin Durant put up big numbers again as he finished the loss with 32 points and 11 rebounds to lead the way for the Nets. His standout effort wasn’t enough though as Milwaukee’s big three of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday combined for 89 points, 35 rebounds and 13 assists to avoid being eliminated on their home floor.
With the win, the Bucks and Nets will now face off in a winner takes all Game 7 matchup at Barclays Center on Saturday. The time of that showdown has yet to be determined.

Durant and Harden both leave the game having played 40 minutes, a far cry from the 48 and 46 they played on Tuesday, respectively. Their workloads were both more substantial, though. Durant took 30 shots in Game 6 after taking 23 in Game 5. Harden scored 16 points in a substantially increased role offensively.

A huge 10-0 run sparked by those Middleton free throws. The Nets are still in this, but the Bucks have regained control.
