Can Bucks win on the road?"},"content":{"rendered":"
Brooklyn’s James Harden came away with a steal and didn’t have a Milwaukee defender between him and the basket. In normal times, Harden would’ve darted to the rim for a layup while trying to draw a foul. <\/p>\n
But Harden pulled up, knowing his bad hamstring didn’t have enough power to get him to the rim before a Bucks defender caught up with him.<\/p>\n
“James was better tonight as far as what he was able to do, but it’s tough,” Nets coach Steve Nash said. “He’s really limited. He can’t do a lot of things he’s accustomed to doing. … Tough, tough position for James to be out there trying his best, trying to help this team and not being able to move the way he normally would.”<\/p>\n
Harden isn’t 100%, Kyrie Irving missed his second consecutive game with a sprained ankle, every Nets starter played at least 30 minutes in Game 6 and now the Nets head back home for Game 7 with an exhausted, short-handed group.<\/p>\n
Milwaukee defeated Brooklyn 104-89 in Game 6 on Thursday, tying the Eastern Conference semifinals series at 3-3.<\/p>\n
Game 7 is Saturday (8:30 p.m. ET, TNT), and two major questions loom:<\/p>\n
Do the Nets have enough left to get one more victory?<\/p>\n
Can the Bucks become the first team to get a road win this series?<\/p>\n
