Durant was so close to victory, but the replays showed he was stepping on the line at the tip of his shoe, and was inches away from victory.
In overtime, as mentioned, KD and his teammates already looked tired, after the short rotation, and the fact that both Durant and James Harden played an entire game (53 minutes), and the Nets managed to score only 2 points in the last 5 minutes.
Harden, who finished a disappointing evening with 2 of 12 of the three, revealed he is actually playing with an injury in the last three games. "It's a 2nd level mastering," Harden said of the muscle injury that limited him, which if it wasn't for the playoffs he would no doubt be sitting on the sidelines waiting for a full recovery, "I actually went up to a lame pitch. I rested between games. I only tested myself in the games themselves. What I have, and it's frustrating, you give it your all, and the injuries delayed us. Kevin twice, I twice, Kyrie in the playoffs. It's disappointing, it drains you, it feels shit, "and frustrating to deal with it, especially in the playoffs."
Durant, whose 48 points are a record for Game 7, looks very disappointed at the end, as expected.
"We wanted to win, in every game, the championship, like any team. The beauty of our profession is that we have to get up and keep going, and get ready for next season. We have to give credit to Milwaukee, this is a great team, with a good chance to win a championship. The story should be about them, they played well. This season, and in the series, and today. "
Durant was asked if he came out encouraged by his ability and leadership in the series, and replied: "Not at all, who cares?".
According to KD, "All the teams went through difficulties this season, I respect the whole league, all the players went through the Corona protocol, the bubble, everyone went through it. I'm proud of my team, but everyone went through it. We played well, gave a performance, and everyone There have been professionals here all season. "

Of course, the short inches that Durant lacked for the victory shocked the net, when one of the ESPN letters even mentioned that in fact Durant locks in games one size larger than he should in order not to restrict his movement.

Steve Nash said that "at the end I told the players how proud I was of them, they gave everything. Lots of difficulties, lots of injuries, lots of staff changes, and they couldn't give more. This team, without Kyrie, with James on one leg, everyone gave everything What they have, I do not know what else Kevin could have given, I am really proud of them. " Nash admitted that "fatigue was a significant part, at the end of the series we no longer had the tools. We were close, we had a chance, and I am proud of the players."
Yannis Antocompo, who answered his critics with a great evening of 40 points and an offensive and confident approach, said at the end that this time he almost cried in conversation with his friends after the game: "I try not to go too high or too low in feelings, but this time I was excited because we really did our best "Our ability to carry out the task, to believe in each other, to trust each other, it was great. In the end, we worked very hard all our lives for this moment. So it was important to me at the end that everyone knows how to appreciate this moment."
Jero Holliday said of the Greek star: "He is our best player, he is our leader, and we are after him. When he tries to break through the wall, we enter it with him. He is the leader, he sets an example, he does not talk much, but always shows the The right way to play, and we are after him. "
