How to Watch the Bucks vs. Indiana Pacers
Tensions ran high in the third quarter of the Bucks-Pacers game on Wednesday night. After a hard foul by Pacers forward TJ Warren on Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, Antetokounmpo retaliated with a shove. Both players were assessed technical fouls, and the incident sparked a brief skirmish between the two teams.
The Bucks went on to win the game 119-95, but the third-quarter incident overshadowed the victory. After the game, Antetokounmpo said that he was "just trying to protect myself" and that he didn't intend to start a fight. Warren, on the other hand, said that he felt Antetokounmpo's shove was "unnecessary."
The Bucks and Pacers have a history of physical play, and this incident is just the latest example. In the 2019 playoffs, the two teams were involved in a heated series that featured several hard fouls and altercations.
It remains to be seen if the third-quarter incident will have any lasting impact on the Bucks-Pacers rivalry. However, it's clear that the two teams are not afraid to get physical with each other.
