Giannis Antetokounmpo believes the Pacers may have given him the wrong ball after his record 64-point outing Wednesday.
It’s cold in the Midwest but the Bucks and Pacers are quickly developing a heated regional rivalry.
After scoring a career-high and franchise-record 64 points in Milwaukee’s 140-126 home win Wednesday night at Fiserv Forum, Giannis Antetokounmpo wanted the game ball only to learn the Pacers had already nabbed it.
He then went bolting toward their locker room in an attempt to retrieve the ball.
While it initially seemed like the mission had been accomplished, Antetokounmpo told reporters after the game he might have been duped.
“I have a ball, but I don’t know if it’s the game ball. It doesn’t feel like the game ball to me,” Antetokounmpo said.
