What happened in sports on June 19, 2021 ft. an epic Bucks-Nets Game 7 OT thriller where KD forced OT before the buzzer but went 0-7 FG
NBA/YouTube
June 19th, 2021 was remembered for one of the greatest games in recent NBA history as Kevin Durant’s 49 points weren’t enough for the Nets in a Game 7 OT thriller where Giannis’ huge game (40 PTS, 13 REB, 5 AST) led the Bucks to their first road Game 7 win in franchise history. KD hit the huge game-tying shot with one second left to force OT where his feet were inches away from draining a go-ahead 3PM but his poor shooting in OT (0-6 FG) doomed Brooklyn as they didn’t benefit from a single point off the bench.
See what happened in sports on June 19th last year, headlined by the MLB closing and cleaning all Spring Training facilities and refusing to schedule a season beyond 60 games as well as the anniversary of LeBron’s Cavs legendary 3-1 comeback getting capped off with a historic Game 7 win. This daily sports article includes real headlines only (no clickbait rumors), all of the best highlights, interesting facts from around the NFL, NBA, & MLB, the main games to watch, top performances of the day, notable birthdays, and a quick recap of significant events on this day in sports history.
