NBA title race blown wide open as Nets lose second superstar to injury

The NBA title race has been blown wide open after Brooklyn Nets' star point guard Kyrie Irving severely sprained his ankle during a game four loss to the Milwaukee Bucks this morning.

Irving joins fellow superstar James Harden on the Nets' injury list, and now a second-round playoff series that once looked like a Brooklyn runaway suddenly is up for grabs.

Milwaukee star Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 34 points and the Bucks rolled to a 107-96 game four victory to tie the series.

The Bucks erased a 2-0 deficit by winning two straight in Milwaukee. Game five is Wednesday in Brooklyn.
