Chapter 413: The Brave and the Dragon

Some people had expected the Bucks and the Supersonics to meet in the finals.

Indeed, there were signs of something similar in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals held at North Shore Garden.

Kevin Martin and Danny Granger played excellently, but the Milwaukee frontline, or rather, Pau Gasol, whom they had always relied on, got exploded by Garnett.

This triggered a chain reaction.

With the Bucks' frontline that usually stood its ground against the Celtics broken, Milwaukee had to lean on its perimeter players. They had a kind of faith that kept the game alive until the end. Unfortunately, home-court advantage and fate might have been at play.

Garnett sank an impossible shot, and Pierce isolated Granger to make a crucial basket to widen the gap.

94 to 89

The once kings, the Bucks, who had won four championships in the last five years, fell at the doorstep of the finals after losing the league's number one player.

How close were they?
