Brooklyn Nets 'heartbroken' after James Harden exits Game 1 vs. Bucks with hamstring injury

BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- It only took 43 seconds for the tenor of the Eastern Conference semifinal showdown between the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks to be turned on its head.

That was all the time James Harden spent on the court in Game 1 on Saturday night before limping back to the locker room. And while Brooklyn went on to claim a 115-107 victory to open this best-of-7 affair, the focus afterward was understandably on Harden and his potential availability for the remainder of the series.

"You know we got a lot thrown at us this year, so we were, in a sense, well-trained for this event," Nets coach Steve Nash said after the game.
