Kevin Durant had a historic performance in Tuesday night’s 114-108 Game 5 win over the Bucks that gave the Nets a 3-2 series lead
He played all 48 minutes and finished with 49 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists.
He was masterful down the stretch as he lead the Nets back from a big deficit and got a win that now puts them a victory away from the Eastern Conference Finals.
And he did it without an injured Kyrie Irving but with a limited James Harden, who surprisingly made his return from a hamstring injury.
LeBron James and other NBA players were in awe of KD’s huge night, and rightfully so – it was incredible.
Then there was this reaction from Reggie Miller, which is mind-boggling: “I’m just going to throw this out there to see what the responses will be.. If your Steve Nash and the Nets, would you sit James Harden AND Kevin Durant in Game 6 because of the heavy minutes tonight, and push all your chips to the center of table for Game 7??”

For real. He tweeted that.
NBA fans crushed him.
