Lopez back for the Bucks, Irving now playing home games. Defensively I don't see how they can matchup on Middleton, playing 3 guards. The Nets end the 1st term well, up 7. Giannis makes the and1, then comes back down with the baseline throw-down over 3 players, wow. Drummond playing well again for Brooklyn. The Bucks end the 2nd well, Nets up 4. As for defending Middleton, Brown's playing well on both ends. Middleton getting blocked a lot, it can't be sustainable though, when Curry's on him it's an automatic basket. Mills gets a steal out of 4 Bucks players to an open Irving who knocks down the 3. He follows it with another, contested. Giannis unstoppable once getting to the basket though, Bucks take a 1-point lead going into the last. Questionable ejection on Middleton, if Brown didn't slow down to showoff Middleton wouldn't be in the play, then he goes to dunk once Middleton can contest. It's more of this expecting a competitor to concede soft nonsense. Holiday with a lot of unforced turnovers, Durant unstoppable mid-range, Nets with a solid lead down the stretch. Bucks go on a run though and Giannis hits the step-back clutch 3 to tie it. Talk about improving your skills. They double KD, he misses, it goes to OT. Both stars hit clutch free-throws, KD misses the game-winner. Milwaukee with a good comeback victory, Giannis an MVP performance. The Nets shot better from the field and significantly better from 3. The Bucks also had more turnovers than assists, but got it done at the line and on the boards, +16. Giannis with a super efficient 44 points, 15 of 19 at the line, with 6 assists, 14 boards, 8 turnovers. Holiday inefficient with 6 turnovers, but had 6 steals, with 8 boards. For the Nets, Durant 26 points, 11 assists, 7 boards, 6 turnovers. Brown 23 points, 5 boards, 3 blocks. Irving 25 points, 5 assists, 2 steals.
