The Brooklyn Nets entered the opening series against the Milwaukee Bucks in full force. One minute into the first game, they lost James Harden to the same hamstring injury that had held him up for most of the season. The Nets still managed to win, but unfortunately they will still be without Harden in at least Game 2 as he tries to recover. Giannis Antetokounmue & Co are looking to cash in until Monday’s Eastern Semifinal Series. While there is still plenty of basketball to be played, it was the Nets who jumped into an early lead over the Bucks after 12 minutes of play.
Sensing their All-Star teammate wouldn’t be back in Game 1, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and the rest of the Nets stars went up against the Bucks. KD finished with 29 points, Irving scored 25 points and Joe Harris had 19 points. Blake Griffin also contributed 18 points along with 14 boards to the win. Giannis leads all scorers with 34 points in a highly effective 16-of-24 shot, but his cards couldn’t keep up with – or stop – Nets Saturday.
