Giannis Antetokounmpo was infuriated when Chris Paul pushed him during a play in the 4th quarter of the Bucks’ loss to the Spurs.
game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Milwaukee Bucks was a close one before the end of the third quarter when the home side managed to get a big lead, which pushed them to a 144-118 win.
annis Antetokounmpo finished with 35 points, 14 rebounds, and six assists, while Chris Paul had 12 points and nine assists for the winning side.
The biggest story of the night, however, was the heated exchange between the two players, despite the fact that Victor Wembanyama recorded 30 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, and six blocks – three of them against Antetokounmpo.
By halftime, the Bucks were leading by one point at the AT&T Center. However, they were outscored by 15 points in the third quarter and 12 points in the final quarter. The way the Bucks lost control of the game might’ve been one of the reasons why Giannis got frustrated.
With under four minutes to go in the final quarter, the Spurs had a 20-point lead. Antetokounmpo received a pass from Taurean Prince in the paint and tried to rush to the basket while being guarded by Paul and Jeremy Sochan.
Giannis made contact with the 39-year-old Spurs veteran and fell on the floor, taking the ball out of bounds with him. After the incident, the Bucks superstar was infuriated and was seen pointing at Paul, yelling, “You,” while he was still on the floor.
