What an incredible game 7 we saw last night between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Brooklyn Nets. Kevin Durant broke the record for most points in a game 7 with his 48 point performance, and none of those points scored were bigger than his insane game-tying shot at the end of regulation.
KD’s huge bucket with 1 second remaining took this instant classic into overtime. An overtime that would end up going the way of the Milwaukee Bucks as they went on to win game 7 115-111. In hindsight, a screenshot of Kevin Durant’s foot revealed just how close that KD tying bucket was to being a go-ahead bucket.
After the game, Durant saw the screenshot that showed off just how close it was to being a three-pointer.

It’s no doubt a tough defeat for Kevin Durant who really stepped up with Kyrie Irving and James Harden being injured. Knowing that he was an inch or two from actually moving on to the Eastern Conference Final won’t help either. Instead it's Giannis and the Bucks who await the winner of tonight's game 7 between the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers. Here's to hoping that this game 7 can somehow live up to the drama we saw between the Nets and Bucks.
