NBA scores: Nets vs Bucks 

Giannis and Middleton led the team as they combined for 68 points on the night which eased the win for the Bucks. The Greek Freak punished the Nets in the paints as he shot 12-20 from the field and it looked very difficult to stop him. Khris Middleton once again stepped up as he brought his mid-range game at full use against the Nets, scoring 38 points at a 68.8% efficiency. Brook Lopez continued his great job in defense as he secured 3 blocks for the game making it difficult for the Nets offense. Game 7 will be played in Brooklyn and the Bucks will have to carry the same energy and confidence the Barclays Center if they want to go ahead in the Playoffs.

The Nets looked like they would close out the lead in the 3rd quarter but they kept missing buckets which made it difficult for them. James Harden played 39 minutes in the game which will be a big positive for the Nets who will be hoping for a big game from the former MVP in the all-important Game 7.
