Giannis Antetokounmpo wasn’t happy that the Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Indiana Pacers. The two-time MVP didn’t hold back about the loss while speaking to reporters postgame.
“We have to be more organized,” Antetokounmpo said. “We have to know what we are trying to get down the stretch. At the end of the day, like down the stretch, it’s about effort, man. It’s about effort and attitude, you have to go out there and take it. I feel like the Indiana team, that’s what they did.”
The Bucks lost to the Pacers by a final score of 128-119. Indiana outscored Milwaukee 37-25 in the fourth quarter.
“After this game, what we going to do about it?” Antetokounmpo asked. “Are we going to go to our rooms and just whine and cry about it or are we going to break bread and talk about the game? You know, watch this game, comment on the game what we thought, you know, me and Dame, me and Khris, me and Brook. How can me and Brook get the rebounds, how can our bench be better?

“At the end of the day, I felt like their bench kicked our butts. It’s simple. I saw the stat sheet. I usually don’t look at the stat sheet but I looked at the stat sheet. They do it way better than us. Everybody was 10-plus. They came in, changed the flow of the offense. They were aggressive. They were making plays. You know, our bench wasn’t good tonight.”
The Bucks dropped to 15-7 after losing to the Pacers. Antetokounmpo is averaging 30.5 points, 10.6 rebounds and 5.0 assists on the season while shooting 61.4% from the field and 65.7% from the free-throw line.
