Bucks and Hawks win Game 7

Milwaukee wins Game 7 against Brooklyn behind Khris Middleton. He was the big leader the Bucks needed. Middleton helped Milwaukee reach the East Finals, while Atlanta held off the Sixers in their Game 7. Now it’s Giannis against Trae Young in the East finals. Who will prevail?

2021 NBA playoffs

Kevin Durant scored 49 points and led Brooklyn to a 114-108 victory and a 3-2 series lead over the Milwaukee Bucks. Brooklyn needed a lot from Durant because Kyrie Irving, the starting point guard for the team, was injured. James Harden returned, but it was Durant who stepped up and made the big shots. If Brooklyn can keep this up, I guarantee you they will be in the 2021 East finals against either Philadelphia or Atlanta. Down the stretch, Brooklyn made all the right plays and gave the ball to Durant to score. Then Brooklyn made stops and contained Giannis. If Milwaukee played it right, they should give the ball to Giannis and let him operate in the paint. They didn’t. They gave the ball to Khris Middleton and let him take the last shot. Laundry Shamet makes two free throws and seals the win for the Nets.
