Kevin Durant played a monster game to help carry his Brooklyn Nets to a 114-108 win over the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series on Tuesday night.
Durant scored 49 points with 17 rebounds and 10 assists to carry his team. James Harden was playing on a bad hamstring, while Kyrie Irving missed the game due to an ankle injury. But it didn’t matter with Durant so dialed in.
Check out this incredible 3-pointer he made to beat the shot clock in the final minute with his team up by a point.
