It was a long, hard climb, but the Milwaukee Bucks have advanced to the N-B-A Eastern Conference finals.
After dropping the first two games of the semifinal series against Brooklyn, the Bucks won four out of five to take the series.
They beat the Nets Saturday in overtime 115-111 despite 48 points from Kevin Durant.
When Durant hit a bucket at the buzzer to tie the score in regulation he was less than an inch from winning the game. His foot was just inside the 3-point arc.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with 40 points and 13 rebounds.
Khris Middleton hit the tie-breaking shot with 40 seconds left in the extra frame.
The Bucks will meet the Atlanta Hawks in the next round after the Hawks upset top-seeded Philadelphia Sunday 103-96.
The best-of-seven series will start Wednesday night in Milwaukee.
