Jaylen Brown and Giannis Antetokounmpo had to be separated after Brown took umbrage with Thanasis Antetokounmpo’s hard foul on Harrison Barnes in the final moments of Team USA’s 69-53 win over Greece in the FIBA World Cup on Saturday.
Referees and coaches came to break up the confrontation, and Brown later angrily pointed at Thanasis Antetokounmpo as well. The foul came with 1:43 left, and it sent Barnes sprawling onto his stomach.
Some heated conversations after the game. USA players presumably upset with the foul on Barnes. Middleton playing peacekeeper with Giannis. Not a great way to end the game.
