The end of the heated Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers playoff series wasn’t about basketball.
No, it was focused on Giannis Antetokounmpo and Tyrese Haliburton’s dad going face-to-face, and it sure didn’t look friendly.

Let’s run through the entire incident from beginning to end after an end-of-game skirmish in the middle of the floor:

John Haliburton apologized
I sincerely apologize to Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Pacers organization for my actions following tonight’s game. This was not a good reflection on our sport or my son and I will not make that mistake again.
