How to watch NBA Playoffs: What channel is Nets vs. Bucks Game 6 on?
By John Buhler
The Milwaukee Bucks need to win Game 6 at home vs. the Brooklyn Nets to avoid elimination.
Thus far in this best-of-seven Eastern Conference Semifinals series, the home team has won every game between the No. 2-seeded Brooklyn Nets and the No. 3-seeded Milwaukee Bucks.
Brooklyn held serve and took Game 5 on Tuesday night, thanks to an otherworldly performance by small forward Kevin Durant. It was so magnificent that even LeBron James took note of it on Twitter. While the Nets do not necessarily need that out of Durant in Game 6, the Bucks will need something of that ilk from presumably Giannis Antetokounmpo to keep their dream season alive.
Here is what you need to know to watch the Nets take on the Bucks in Game 6 on Thursday night.

It goes without question that Milwaukee has to win this game. If the Bucks come up short, it will be season over for Milwaukee and it might cost head coach Mike Budenholzer his job.
