The Finals' G6 officially ended at 11:36 p.m.
The final score was 125 to 126.
A difference of just 1 point!
The Brooklyn Nets ultimately won this hard-fought G6, dragging the series into the decisive Game 7.
Kevin Durant put up 32 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block.
While maintaining his outrageously steady and terrifying scoring output, he also hit a game-winning, high-difficulty turnaround fadeaway with just five seconds left, a near-buzzer-beater.
This was another superstar moment from KD.
But it was worth mentioning that the biggest contributor to the Nets winning tonight's game was not KD, but Harden.
After several lackluster games in a row during the series, James Harden finally erupted once again.
He played 43 minutes and went off for 37 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal, and 4 turnovers!
Rockets Harden had shaken off his slump! A limited-time return!!

At the same time, Paul Joe and Durant were both playing efficiently, which created some issues with the Warriors' defensive strategy of relentlessly double-teaming Harden.
On top of that, Harden himself had perhaps finally grown dissatisfied with the status quo and brought a higher level of intensity to the game.
Under the influence of all these factors, he delivered an explosive performance. In the end, he helped the Nets survive the difficult second and third quarters, giving Durant the chance to close out the game in the final period.
Perhaps this was the Basketball Brooklyn should have been playing all along.
This was the way they were best at winning.
Unfortunately, their form had returned a little too late.
The series had already reached its final stage.
