Start of the Drama

The game at Fiserv Forum was more than just a game; it was a boiling pot of emotions. Giannis scored 64 points and was unstoppable, and the Pacers tried everything to rein him in. This led to a tense moment in the fourth quarter when Bucks’ Bobby Portis was ejected for defending Giannis after a hard foul.

The energy was electric, and every player was on edge, showing just how much this game meant to both teams.

Game-End Ball Feud

After the final buzzer, the drama peaked over the game ball. The Pacers, in a move that raised eyebrows, walked off with the ball, leading to a heated exchange. Giannis, visibly upset, made his feelings known. The situation escalated quickly, with players and staff involved in a tussle over who deserved the game ball.

The Petty Aftermath

The game ended, but the story didn’t. Giannis got a ball, but was it the game ball? He wasn’t sure. The Pacers’ coach explained it as a misunderstanding, saying they took the ball to honor their rookie’s first regular-season points.

Bucks’ Damian Lillard shrugged it off as part of the league’s competitive spirit, but acknowledged the pettiness that can sometimes overshadow the NBA game.

Amidst this confusion, one thing was clear: Giannis scored 64 points and this historic night was one for the books, and the Bucks-Pacers rivalry was more alive than ever. The stage is set for their upcoming encounters, promising more spectacular basketball action.
