 What a wild game with Milwaukee throwing the first punch the Nets coming back in and close down the stretch And it's the Bucks that hold on in the end. Yeah I mean what a defensive battle between the two teams who the high scoring teams and league through that course of the regular season and You saw the level of Physicality right out of the gates in first of all the facts is Nets fought back from that 21 point deficit early on You knew the Bucks would come in with a different mindset and attitude and want to be the aggressor To start with the way things went in game, too But overall, you know, I think both these teams come out of it Milwaukee feels like they've got themselves back in the series Imagine Brooklyn walks out of it thinking they left a lot of points a lot of points on the board given how many clean looks shot So in the way They shot the ball tonight But but overall credit to this Milwaukee team because they made just enough plays down the stretch to be able to close This one out especially the performance of Chris Middleton with such a bounce back game No doubt no doubt they certainly needed that meanwhile for the Nets 30 shots missed between Kevin Durant and Kairi Irving the third member of our team joining us tonight for the postgame show Frank I saw the Frank your thoughts on what we saw tonight in game three It kind of had a 90s throwback game field to you know offense was hard to come by some of it Was a nept offence a lot of it was very good defense and I think where the Nets are going to be disappointed They took their biggest lead of the game with 123 to go on that impossible shot by Kevin Durant He was on such a roll there bucks call time out They get a good possession out of that they score the last six points of the game The Nets missed their final four shots and that in bounds pass from Blake Griffin. It wasn't good I give Kairi Irving a lot of credit Tracking it down keeping his balance and then Bruce Brown drives to the basket and Brooke Lopez who did not have a good first half Very good second half Distracted him just enough to force a difficult shot in the Milwaukee Bucks found away That's what you have to do when you're at home. They found a way to win and guess what guys? We now have a playoff series. We absolutely do how frustrating should it be from the Nets standpoint We knew that Milwaukee and look the Nets players and coach Nash talked about it too They knew the type of ferocity that the Bucks would come out with and still with all that said knowing what they were going to be facing They were down 30 to 11 after one Frank Yeah Yeah, and I think that's where if I'm the Brooklyn Nets, I'm a little disappointed obviously with the start You knew you were going to get an initial punch, but I don't know about you guys I'm watching the game and in that second and third quarter the way the Nets were playing when Bruce Brown Had it going in that second quarter. I kept thinking they're going to get a lead And then they're going to start pulling away the biggest lead was three But even at that point with the timeout called by milwaukee milwaukee was struggling so much and give christ middleton A lot of credit. He scored the basket Coming out of the timeout drew holiday had the big play when they decided not to call timeout for the brooklyn That's for me offensive execution in that final minute. They missed their last four shots in the final minute That's what steven ash is going to be thinking about in coos those shots were makeable ones A lot of the shots that we saw the next mission this game were makeable shots and down the stretch the shots that frank Was talking about a mid-range jay for uh, joe harris that we've seen him hit that quite a bit Bruce brown mr. floater in the lane We've seen him throughout this game hit a lot of those shots And just couldn't get them to go down when they needed the most That really was a consistent theme throughout the course of this game when it came to brooklyn how they were Enable to incapable of knocking down shots that were fairly clean looks and is frank alluded to Milwaukee played some excellent defense that were trying to take away airspace of the nets But there were so many looks for brooklyn, especially a guy like joe harris He would expect to knock down kevin doran still walks away with what he has 30 points on the night yet There was a lot of early shots and those first three quarters That you know are makeable shots for him the list goes on so to think about the fact that for Milwaukee, yes, they only had two players in double figures both yannis and middleton with big knights So yannis Didn't wasn't able to really put the the ball in the bucket down the stretch of the game The net's a nice job of making shots tough for him reinforcing him to take Some good contested looks but the fact that it was just kevin doran Bruce brown and kairi erving that were in double figures for the nets not really The characteristic of this net's offense with the way the ball was moving in the shots that they created to not see him go down is something i imagine they're going to be thinking about here tonight No doubt we used to see in balance with this group the most part and joe harris is a guy that we've seen come through time and time again One for 11 in this game With joe harris as we take a look at the game summary That was a seesaw first half 30 to 11 the bucks outscored the nets in that opening quarter But in the second quarter was the nets getting right back in an outscoring milwaukee 31 to 15 And then as frank alluded to like a 90 slugfest and that second half 23 22 score in the 1918 And the fourth quarter kevin doran missed 17 shots But had 30 points was big when it mattered most 11 rebounds four steals Yanis with 33 points and 14 rebounds milwaukee again led by 21 And that opening quarter in brooklyn didn't get a lead until the third quarter Had a lead with under two minutes to go with that big three by kevin doran But again, it's frank alluded to last six points from milwaukee and they pull out the 86 to 83 victory
