The Bucks’ title run has fans thinking ‘what if’ over Kevin Durant’s Game 7 shot

It often takes time to be able to reflect and gauge how important a single second within a season can be. In Kevin Durant’s case, and of course for Nets fans as well, his heroic shot at the end of regulation in Game 7 against the Bucks.

With the clock running down, there were six seconds left. Everyone in the building knew who the ball was going to. It was at this moment when Nets forward Jeff Green inbounded the ball to Durant. The 32-year-old dribbled his way through contact on PJ Tucker before turning around for a fadeaway jumper at the top of the key. Three … two … one: BANG! The shot was good, but was Durant behind the line? Unfortunately for the Nets, he wasn’t. His foot was an inch away from the shot being counted as a three.

Despite losing Kyrie Irving in Game 4 of that series. Despite James Harden grimacing in pain going up and down the court with a grade 2 hamstring sprain. The series could have been decided with this shot. Instead, the Brooklyn Nets must now wait until next season to suit up and do it all again.
