Nets vs. Bucks score: Kevin Durant posts historic 49-point triple-double, Brooklyn rallies for 3-2 series lead

The Brooklyn Nets appeared to be in serious trouble heading into Game 5, and even more so when they went down by as much as 17 points. But even with Kyrie Irving out and James Harden hobbled, they still had Kevin Durant, and he led them all the way back for a 114-108 win to take a 3-2 series lead over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Durant was truly heroic, as he put together one of the best playoff performances in recent memory, and possibly all time. Playing all 48 minutes, he finished with 49 points, 17 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and three steals on 16 of 23 from the field. His 3-pointer to beat the shot clock late in the fourth quarter was the biggest bucket of the night, and he hit some clutch free throws to secure the win. This was highest scoring game as a member of the Nets, and it could not have come at a better time.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 34 points, 12 rebounds and four assists, but it wasn't enough. Milwaukee's offense sputtered down the stretch, as they scored just 21 points in the fourth quarter. Now, they'll face a must-win Game 6 at home to keep their season alive.
