Milwaukee Bucks vs Brooklyn Nets: Storylines

Even if the Milwaukee Bucks somehow manage to win this series, Mike Budenholzer should be fired after the way his team let that huge lead slip right through their hands. He's running the team's offense as if Giannis Antetokounmpo were Stephen Curry, and he's not even asking him to guard Kevin Durant despite being last year's Defensive Player of the Year.

The Brooklyn Nets needed a hero and they got exactly what they asked for. Durant played every single second of the game and finished with a majestic 49-point triple-double, including multiple big shots in clutch time to put the game out of reach. If someone dared question his legacy before this game, it's safe to say that he silenced his critics.
