It was a hard day for Giannis Antetokounmpo and his men at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
The Bucks faced a tough defeat against the Indiana Pacers in Game 4, losing 129-103 and falling behind 3-1 in their playoff series.
While the loss was already heavy for the Bucks fans, star point guard Damian Lillard’s injury only added to it. He was ruled out just six minutes into the game due to a lower leg injury.
Despite a valiant effort from Antetokounmpo, who recorded 28 points, 15 rebounds, and six assists, the Bucks struggled offensively without their leading playmaker.
While Milwaukee was behind the Pacers in all four quarters, reality hit Giannis hard in the last quarter. A video recently went viral showing the Greek Freak in utter disappointment with nine minutes still left on the clock.
