In addition, the 32-year-old played every second of the game, Durant alone scored 20 points in the last quarter. The Nets were 43:59 at halftime and even during the third quarter with 16 points behind. “It’s crazy what he’s capable of,” said Nets coach Steve Nash.
In the series, the team from New York now leads 3-2 thanks to the success and is only one victory away from making it into the conference finals. For Giannis Antetokounmpo’s bucks, the home game on Friday night is now a final.
Nets professional James Harden only played a minor role on his comeback with five points, six rebounds and eight assists. Jeff Green, on the other hand, contributed a career record to success with 27 points. Kyrie Irving was absent from the Nets with an ankle injury. At the Bucks, Antetokounmpo was the most successful thrower with 34 points.
Durant’s strong performance sparked reactions from other athletes. After the 1-0 win against Germany at the start of the European Championship, France’s national soccer player Antoine Griezmann tweeted in the early Central European period that Durant was “unbelievable”. NBA superstar LeBron James wrote: “Greatness! Enjoy it for as long as you can guys!”
