Giannis Antetokounmpo has not been pleased with the officials this evening.
Franz Wagner hit him with the Flagrant 1 shove. Looked like Wagner grabbed his arm on another bucket and it went uncalled. And he believes he was fouled by Cole Anthony on his last drive. - 9:01 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo: Clean shot. I thought the ball was going in. Great look (...) also I think I'm capable of taking the ball in the elbow if they play one-on-one, and try to take the shot myself if they don't make something happen but it's one or the other. But I'm cool with one of the best closers in the game taking that shot and we all have to live with it. -via YouTube / March 9, 2025
