NBA playoffs 2021 - By the tip of Kevin Durant's shoe, the Milwaukee Bucks are finally halfway to their goal - ESPN

The Bucks and Nets go down to the wire in a wild fourth quarter and overtime as Milwaukee comes out on top and advances to the Eastern Conference finals.

The game could've been a movie, the action on the sidelines a soap opera and the dialogue between Kevin Durant and his longtime friend P.J.

But for all the drama that spilled on the floor Saturday night in an epic overtime Game 7 that saw the Milwaukee Bucks outlast the Brooklyn Nets 115-111, all the exhaustion that led to fatigue and respect-filled hugs afterward, this was the bottom line: The Bucks' stars are healthy, and they're in the conference finals.

Not even those Hall of Famers won a Game 7 on the road for the Bucks.

"We kept our composure throughout the whole series," said Giannis Antetokounmpo after scoring 40 points with 13 rebounds in 50 minutes that, by the end, had drained him of many of his normal powers.

The way the Bucks came through in this series was personified by veteran center Brook Lopez.

Tucker called for a hard foul on Kevin Durant and while KD is shooting free throws, he has some fun with Durant's mom sitting courtside.

Brooklyn opened as big series and championship favorites and, it must be pointed out, was up on Milwaukee by 49 points in Game 2 even with James Harden on the sideline.

The Bucks were 0-5 in Brooklyn this year and have been notorious for botching close playoff games.
