Giannis addresses confrontation with Tyrese Haliburton's dad

INDIANAPOLIS -- Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo got into a heated confrontation with the father of Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton following Game 5 of their first-round playoff series, spurred by what Antetokounmpo called a "disrespectful" exchange on the floor.

The Pacers were celebrating Haliburton's go-ahead layup with 1.3 seconds left in overtime that gave them a series-clinching 119-118 victory Tuesday night. According to Antetokounmpo, Haliburton's father, John, walked toward the Bucks star waving a flag and swearing at him.

"I believe in being humble in victory," Antetokounmpo said after the game, which ended Milwaukee's season.
