Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was vowing vengeance for an act he perceived as disrespect during Milwaukee's loss to the New York Knicks on Saturday night.
Knicks forward Mario Hezonja dunked on Antetokounmpo in the first quarter, then stared and stepped over him -- much to the delight of the Madison Square Garden crowd.
I'm going to punch him in the (groin) next time,'' said Antetokounmpo, who had 33 points and 19 rebounds in Milwaukee's 136-134 overtime defeat.
The teams next meet Christmas Day in New York.
Hezonja, who was unaware of Antetokounmpo's displeasure, did note the crowd reaction to his only bucket of the game.
