Nets show resiliency sometimes isn’t enough
NY Post
The ball was where the Nets wanted it to be, needed it to be, safely tucked in Kevin Durant’s hands, seconds melting away in Game 7, seconds bleeding away in the season. Durant had already scored 48 points. He’d played every second, again, for the second time in three games.
He’d already nearly blown the roof off Barclays Center, draining a turnaround 22-footer that tied the game one second from the end of regulation, a shot that was maybe three millimeters away from being a game-winner, the tip of his toes grazing the 3-point line. Now it was Bucks 113, Nets 111, time dropping off the clock in overtime. The Bucks’ Khris Middleton missed a shot and the Nets decided against a time-out. What would’ve been the point? The ball was already where it needed to be, where it had to be. Durant shook himself free for a fraction of a second, made the same move he’d made earlier.More Related News
