Giannis, Durant Deliver in a Game 7 for the Ages

You cannot ask for a better Game 7. In a heavyweight fight that saw both teams trade blows until the bitter end, the Bucks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals after a thrilling, 115–111 win against the Nets in overtime.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 40 points in 50 minutes in the win, leading Milwaukee as much of his supporting cast struggled shooting for large stretches of the game.

Kevin Durant put up another all-time performance, scoring 48 points—the most ever in a Game 7—and playing all 53 minutes, with his potential game-winning three falling harmlessly to the floor in the game’s final second.
