Kevin Durant hit the most bonkers clutch fadeaway to send Nets-Bucks Game 7 to OT
Durant #Durant
Game 7 between the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern semifinals lived up to the hype, with a wild fourth quarter that went back and forth.
And the way that period ended was even wilder.
The Bucks were up 109-107, having just squandered a possession in which they had 2.1 seconds on the shot clock off a timeout and didn’t get a shot off. With six seconds left, the ball got in to Kevin Durant — who else? — and despite absolutely solid defense from P.J. Tucker, Durant got a turnaround shot near the three-point line that almost no one could hit.
But you know what happened. He nailed it, tying the game and sending the contest to overtime.
Of course, NBA players watching went bonkers. Let’s break it down:
