The Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets fight to make their place in the Eastern Conference Finals. As they continue to go head to head in the nerve-wracking Game 7, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant battled to one-up each other. The energy in the arena is on the next level because a lot was at stake. But in the midst of it all, we witness an unusual encounter between P. J. Tucker and Durant’s mother.

Both the Milwaukee Bucks and the Brooklyn Nets went back and forth throughout to keep their leads. Despite the Bucks’ losing their touch in the first half, they started off the third quarter with far more intensity and focus. They were dropping more bucks with ease and giving the title favorites a run for their money.

In fact, they became more physical too, especially P. J. Tucker who had four fouls already by the third quarter itself. One of them being a pretty hard one as he collided with KD while grabbing a rebound. And while Durant was standing on the free-throw line, we saw Tucker and KD’s mother exchanged words.
