Brown had 14 points and six rebounds in 52 minutes. Joe Harris, though, had just 10 points while going 3-for-9 from 3-point range. Blake Griffin posted 17 points and 11 rebounds in 40 minutes before fouling out.
The Nets’ supporting cast proved to be a mixed bag in Game 7. The collective health of Brooklyn’s Big Three is going to be a legitimate concern moving forward. On the season, their team played a combined 4,062 minutes. “I hurt for them more than anything.”īetween the regular season and playoffs, Durant, Irving and Harden logged just 332 minutes together over 14 games (really 12, given the Toronto-KD fiasco and Game 1).
“They couldn’t have given us anything more,” Nash said. His efforts on one leg were risky and valiant.īut he was limited. He shot just 5-for-17, though, including 2-for-12 from 3-point range. Harden also played All-53 in Game 7, coming up just short of a triple-double: 22 points, nine rebounds, nine assists. James Harden revealed that he played Games 5-7 with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain. Kyrie Irving (ankle) missed the final three games. Bottom line: The Nets had fallen short of their championship expectations. They’d certainly like to have the ends of both Game 3 and Game 7 back. He also played all 48 minutes in Game 5, finishing with that legendary 49-point, 17-rebound, 10-assist triple-double. He was out of this world,” said Steve Nash, who in retrospect could’ve called timeout to give KD a break before the final possession.ĭurant finished the playoffs averaging 34.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 40.3 minutes.
