    A Game 7 thriller, the NBA's first do-or-die game to go to overtime in 15 years, came down to a matter of inches.

    If Brooklyn star Kevin Durant was just slightly farther away — or if his foot was slightly smaller — he ends the highest-scoring Game 7 ever by an NBA player with a 3-pointer to win the series.

    "We got lucky his toe was on the line and they called it a 2," Milwaukee's Khris Middleton said. "But once he hits that shot, we've got to forget about it. There's still ballgame left. That wasn't the game."

    And given a second chance, the Bucks cashed it in for a ticket to the Eastern Conference finals.

    The Bucks withstood Durant's NBA-record 48 points in a Game 7, beating the Nets 115-111 on Saturday night.
