On Wednesday night, Giannis Antetokounmpo was ejected from the Milwaukee Bucks’ game against the Pistons after earning a controversial second technical foul. On Thursday, he unleashed a vengeance of biblical proportions, and the Pacers were the ill-fated morsels in his path. He scored 54 points on pretty insane efficiency (19-for-25 from the field).
Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. The Pacers narrowly escaped with a 126-124 victory.
Game Recap
