Facing the dreaded 0-3 playoff hole, the Milwaukee Bucks were teetering on the edge of being swept before a hard-fought Game 3 gave them their first win of the series.
Giannis and Khris Middleton, who combined to drop 68 points, came up huge for Milwaukee, and so did Jrue Holiday, who hit the game-winning shot for his team.
After the final buzzer, NBA players from all over responded to the game, all with different perspectives on how it all went down.
Start game 4 now! #greatgame

Steve Nash blew that game for the Nets! You gotta clear one side of the court and run 1-3 pick n roll with KD and Kyrie. Carry on…

Look at alllll these mid- range shots that’s gonna win the game for someone 😂😂😳. The same shot they’ve tried to convince y’all was bad. Only real hoopers will understand what I’m saying!

The big story of the game was Bruce Brown, who decided it was a good idea to go up for the game-winner himself (which he missed) instead of passing to Kevin Durant.

All-in-all, it was a fantastic game and more of what fans were expecting this series to be like from the jump. Despite all the memes and jokes about those final seconds, there are some real questions about both teams.
Can the Bucks actually make this a series, or was this game just a fluke? Will James Harden return to the lineup any time soon, or will the Nets have to do without him?
As the series continues to play out, we’ll find out all we need to know about what they’re made of. It will be something great to behold.
