Bucks lost in 35 seconds history, Antetokounmpo s quarrel after the game
11:18pm, 6 May 2025Basketball
When Gary Trent Jr. made his fourth three-pointer in overtime, and then Antetokounmpo made another breakthrough layup, everyone thought the Milwaukee Bucks were stable, and they still led by 7 points with 35 seconds left. Although Pacers guard Nemhard quickly made a three-pointer, the Bucks still led by 4 points with 32.7 seconds left in the game and held the ball.
But in the following few rounds, the Bucks made extremely low-level mistakes in succession.
First, Trent Jr. made a pass error after receiving the serve on the sideline. A.J. Green, who was retreating to defend, not only failed to stop Halliburton from making a layup, but also lost 2+1. The Bucks were then on a timeout, but they made another mistake in the round after they came back. This time it was Green's pass and Trent Jr. The pass was not difficult, but Trent did not catch it. Halliburton then fought Antetokounmpo with one-on-one goal to complete the layup, the Pacers won the extreme reversal 119 to 118, and eliminated the Bucks 4-1 in the series!
According to statistics, the Bucks led by 7 points with 35 seconds left but eventually lost, which was the most exaggerated last moment of the playoffs in the past 20 years. The closest thing is the second round of the Western Conference G5 Thunder reversed the Speedboat in 2014. In that game, the Speedboat led by 7 points with 45 seconds left, but was turned around.
After experiencing the last moment of jumping off a building machine, the story of both sides did not end there. After the game, Antetokounmpo rubbed several times while greeting the Pacers, including quarrel with Halliburton's father.
"I believe that I should be humble after winning. I am such a person." Antetokounmpo, who scored 30 points, 20 rebounds and 13 assists, said, "Many people may think, no, if you win, you will be qualified to ridicule your opponent. I don't agree. ...The emotions will be more excited after losing. There is a fan - I didn't know that he was Halliburton's father at that time. Later I learned that I love Harry, he is a great competitor - his father walked on the court, took a towel with his son's face and said to me, 'This xx is us, we do this.' I think his approach is very, very disrespectful."
letters mean that he and Halliburton have no conflicts. The two are very good. Harry also thought his father's approach was inappropriate after the game: "I don't recognize my father." The action made by his dearly, the things on the court should be left on the court. I think he was too excited and witnessed his son scored a winning goal and then walked on the court, but we had a communication. He should stay on the sidelines and wait for me to celebrate with him."
Then Halliburton's father John also apologized for his actions on social media: "I sincerely apologize to Giannis (Antetokounmpo), the Milwaukee Bucks and the Pacers for his behavior after the game tonight. I made a bad example for the sport or my son, and I will not make this mistake again."
It is worth mentioning that before the conflict with Halliburton's father, Antetokounmpo also had friction with Pacers defender Mathering. The two suddenly had a fight while hugging and communicating, and were eventually pulled apart by the crowd around.
