The Brooklyn Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks are about to clash for all the marbles in Game 7. Nets star Kevin Durant spoke out about what he expects from James Harden in their do-or-die contest.
“We’re not expecting too much from him movement-wise,” Durant said via Brian Lewis of the New York Post. “But he’s going out there and giving it his all and we respect that.”
Despite an injured Harden, Durant was able to put the Nets on his back in Game 5 with his wild 49-point display. But the Bucks keyed in on him in Game 6, with the Beard still looking like a shell of himself. Harden was vocal about the ill effects of his lingering hamstring injury:
“It's not even about rust, it’s about being able to move,” the Nets star said. “As I go day-by-day, continue to get better. The last game, Game 5, was the first day that I did any movement like that since I got hurt. So [Game 6] was no different, you know? I’m out there to do whatever it takes to win. I’ve got to be better on both end of the ball, which I will be in Game 7.”
James Harden may not be at 100%, but he'll be on the court doing all he can to help Kevin Durant and the Nets punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals.
