The second-round series between the Brooklyn Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks is a perfect example of how fast things can change in the NBA.
Harden hasn’t played since going down with a hamstring injury in Game 1, and Irving suffered a sprained ankle in Game 4.
Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving barely played together in the regular season due to various injuries and now we’ve reached Game 5 of the second round and Durant is the only one left.
Bucks: After their embarrassing Game 2 loss, the Bucks looked like they were headed toward another early playoff exit and a long summer of soul searching.
The whole premise of Brooklyn’s superteam revolves around having its stars available.
