Giannis Antetokounmpo, Myles Turner react to controversial moment vs. Russell Westbrook and Kings

Russell Westbrook wrapped up Giannis Antetokounmpo

During the third quarter, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was on his way to two easy points for the team by finishing at the rim.

However, Antetokounmpo was stopped in his tracks by Westbrook. How? Well, Westbrook quite literally wrapped up Antetokounmpo and didn’t let go of him.

Westbrook didn’t let go of the Greek Freak even after the referees blew the whistle. Evidently, the Bucks were expecting it to be a flagrant foul on Russ, but it was deemed a common foul.

It didn’t take long for other players to get involved and separate the two stars.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner’s diplomatic answer to Russell Westbrook’s actions

After the game, crew chief Mitchell Ervin explained that there was no illegal contact made by Westbrook.

While that was the official pool report, it was obvious that Antetokounmpo was unhappy with the decision, as evident from his postgame comments on the same.

“I don’t want to comment on the last play, what I thought it was. I don’t want to get fined,” Antetokounmpo said of another play.

Myles Turner agreed with Giannis, stating: “I get my teammates’ frustrations…I’ll watch my comments. I don’t need no smoke from the league right now.”

The play in question was when AJ Green shot a free throw, and Westbrook once again grabbed Antetokounmpo.

However, to avoid getting fined, the Bucks’ dynamic duo decided to give rather diplomatic answers.
