Kevin Durant’s crazy basket for a tie at 109 gave us the first Playoff Game 7 in overtime for over 15 years (Mavs-Spurs 2006). In extra time, as expected, the schemes were skipped and the same KD, up to that moment essentially always on the field, did not find the basket anymore. (0-6).
The away win on the Barclays Center court allowed Milwaukee to remove the pass for the Conference Finals. Waiting for the challenger, who will come out of the other Game 7 between Sixers and Hawks, the Bucks have dispelled two taboos: the first away success in a Game 7 in the history of the franchise (0-7 the record before tonight) and first successful comeback from 0-2 in a best-of-seven series (0-15 in the previous).
A FANTASTIC GAME 7 FINISH… relive the best plays down the stretch as the @Bucks outlasted Brooklyn in an OT thriller! #ThatsGame
