Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t appear to take the series-ending loss to the Indiana Pacers well on Tuesday night after getting into multiple altercations after the final buzzer. 

Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton hit the game-winning shot, crossing over Antetokounmpo and driving to the basket for a right-handed layup to take the 119-118 lead with 1.3 seconds left to play. 

After the game, Antetokounmpo was paying his respects to several Pacers players, but things got weird when he and Indiana guard Benedict Mathurin embraced and appeared to have some words. However, Mathurin pushed Antetokounmpo away, and an altercation between both the Pacers and Bucks occurred on the court.

Then, things got interesting when Antetokounmpo went face-to-face with Haliburton’s father, who was in the stands throughout the game. Again, it appeared they were just having a spirited conversation, but Antetokounmpo needed to be pulled away from Haliburton’s dad by a Bucks coach. 

After the game, Antetokounmpo explained what happened with the altercation with Haliburton’s father, claiming he was waving a towel with his son’s face on it at him and cursing after the win.

"One thing I’ll say is that I believe being humble in victory," Antetokounmpo said in a three-minute response to a reporter’s question on the matter. "That’s the way I am. There’s probably a lot of people out there like, ‘No, when you win the game you gotta talk s---. It’s a green light for you to be disrespectful towards somebody else.’ I disagree. I’ve won a championship, they haven’t. That doesn’t say anything – I’m not trying to minimize their effort.

"Losing a game, emotions run high, having a fan – which, at the moment, I thought he was a fan, but then I realized it was Tyrese’s dad. I love Tyrese, I think he’s a great competitor. [He was] coming into the court and showing a towel with his son’s face [saying], ‘This is what we do, this is what we F’n do, this is what the F we do.’ I feel like that is very, very disrespectful.

"I’m happy that he’s happy for his son – that’s how you’re supposed to feel. But coming to me and disrespecting me and cursing at me I think is totally unacceptable. Totally unacceptable. I’m not the guy that points fingers, because in my neighborhood, snitches get stitches. So, I don’t want to say something for him to get fined or anything. But it’s not respectful. I talked with him at the end, and I think we’re in a good place."

Antetokounmpo also mentioned his late father, Charles, who he said taught him humbleness.

"My dad used to come into the family room and was the most respectful person ever," Antetokounmpo said. "When you come from nothing and work your whole life to sell stuff in the street and your whole life you’re scared of the police deporting you and sending you back to your country and you have to protect your kids, you create this mentality of being humble your whole life, to not disrespectful anybody, to not make the emotions high so somebody can snitch on you or say something bad about you."

The younger Haliburton was asked about his father’s actions after the game as well, and he is on Antetokounmpo’s side of the argument. 

"I don’t agree with what transpired there from him. I think basketball is basketball and let’s keep it on the court. I think he just got excited that his son made the game-winner, came onto the court. We had a conversation and I think he needs to just allow me to play basketball, stay over there. I’ll come to him to celebrate. I think it’s just the emotions of the game got excited there."

Antetokounmpo did his best to keep the series alive on Tuesday night, tallying a triple-double with 30 points, 20 rebounds and 13 assists. However, he did have a chance to hit the game-winner himself in regulation, but couldn’t knock down the shot. 

The Bucks were up with 40 seconds left in overtime, but Indiana came back to the point where Haliburton and Antetokounmpo went one-on-one for the game. Haliburton, who scored 26 points with five rebounds and nine assists, came out on top.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-Mich., greeted President Donald Trump on the tarmac in Michigan before his speech to National Guard members on Tuesday, where she also spoke at the event without hiding her face.

"Well, I hadn’t planned to speak, but on behalf of all the military men and women who serve our country and serve so honorably on behalf of the State of Michigan, I am really damn happy we’re here," Whitmer said.

Fox News co-host Judge Jeanine Pirro said on "The Five" Tuesday that Whitmer had a chance to set the tone for the Democratic Party.

"I think that…of course, she's there because of the troops, but there are some Democrats who wouldn't be in the same room with Donald Trump," Pirro said. "I think that she did the right thing, and I think that wanting to work with the president to bring back manufacturing to Michigan is a smart move."

During the event on Tuesday, Trump unveiled plans to swap out the retiring A-10 Warthog aircraft based out of Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan with 21 brand-new F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets.

Trump shared the details during a speech to National Guard members at the Michigan base before an event commemorating his 100th day in office.

"So I want to thank Governor Gretchen Whitmer for bringing it also to our attention very strongly. And, you know, I'm not supposed to do that. She's a Democrat. They say, 'Don't do that. Don't have her here.' I said, 'No, she's going to be here,'" Trump said. "She's done a very good job, frankly. And she's she was very much involved with, with the Republicans. They worked together on saving it. And it was not easy. So I want to thank you very much, Gretchen. Good job."

DEM GOVERNORS REVOLT AGAINST TRUMP'S 'LIBERATION DAY' TARIFFS

Whitmer’s presence Tuesday came a few weeks after seemingly hiding her face during a meeting with Trump in the Oval Office.

Whitmer was criticized for shielding her face with a folder as a photo of the moment became a meme on social media.

She poked fun at the now-viral moment by once again holding folders up in front of her face when asked about her trip to Washington, D.C., during an event at the Detroit Economic Club after the meeting with the president. 

"… I don’t want my picture taken, that’s all it was. I kind of wished I hadn’t put my folder up in front of my face, but whatever. You know I was there … I just wrote a book about learning to laugh at yourself, so I’m pretty good at it. We all have our moments," Whitmer said.

The governor's trip to Washington brought her 2028 presidential ambitions into the national conversation as she struck a diplomatic tone with Trump. She carefully criticized Trump's tariffs while saying she understood the "motivation behind the tariffs" and even agreeing with Trump that we "need to make more stuff in America."

Whitmer's Oval Office moment marked her second meeting with Trump in less than a month, and Tuesday’s meeting now marks the third. As Trump signed executive orders from the Oval Office on April 9 and answered questions from the press, he said Whitmer had "done an excellent job" as governor and called her a "very good person," a break from his typical lines of attack on her character.

When Trump signed the executive orders calling for the investigation of two first-term administration aides who were critical of his actions, Whitmer’s office said she was brought into the room "without any notice" and that her appearance was "not an endorsement of the actions taken or statements made."

But Trump called the issues "bipartisan" and jokingly added, "We'll all stand there together and cut a ribbon. OK, Gretchen?"
