Despite the fact that many people viewed the Brooklyn Nets as clear-cut favorites for the NBA championship this season, they have blown a 2-0 lead against the Milwaukee Bucks, and the series is now at 2-2. It gets even tougher, as Kyrie Irving and James Harden are both currently out with injury. 

Their circumstances currently mean that Kevin Durant will have to take on the majority of the offensive burden. There is no doubt that beating the Milwaukee Bucks down 2 co-stars will be a tough ask for Kevin Durant, but it seems as though he isn't worried.

There is no doubt that Kevin Durant is a superstar whose scoring is able to carry a team to victory. His one on one prowess is well known, as he is one of the best offensive players in the league. The upcoming game will be important for both teams, as it will allow the winning team to take a 3-2 lead. Kevin Durant certainly realizes the gravity of that game, and we can expect him to have a good performance if all goes well.
