Nets advance to face Bucks after finishing off Celtics
NY Post
Two years after bolting Boston for Brooklyn — and two days after getting hit in the head by a water bottle thrown from the stands at TD Garden — Kyrie Irving finally got closure. And closed out the Celtics.
The Big 3 of Irving, Kevin Durant and James Harden led the Nets to a 123-109 first-round Game 5 win before 14,993 jubilant fans at Barclays Center on Tuesday night. They put Boston in their rear view mirror, and Milwaukee squarely in their sights. “The feeling is one of excitement to move on and face a great challenge in Milwaukee, and to get prepared to go do it again. We’re excited for the next step, the next challenge,” said Steve Nash. “James (Harden) was great, obviously; a triple-double, controlled the game, made shots and made his teammates better. He was terrific.”More Related News
