Durant stars as Nets lead Bucks 2-0

Kevin Durant scored 32 points as the Brooklyn Nets beat the Milwaukee Bucks 125-86 in game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals play-off series.

Playing without the injured James Harden but showing no hint that they needed him, the Nets led by as much as 49 and held the NBA’s highest-scoring team 34 points below its season average.

Kyrie Irving added 22 points and Bruce Brown filled in nicely for Harden with 13 points and six rebounds.

The Nets broke down the Bucks’ defence off the dribble all game, setting up uncontested shots that they mostly made. Brooklyn shot 52% from the field and was 21 for 42 from 3-point range.
