The Indiana Pacers took the game ball with them following their loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, sparking an altercation that has overshadowed Giannis Antetokounmpo's franchise-best 64-point performance.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle defended his team's actions, stating that rookie Oscar Tshiebwe scored his first points in the game. He also revealed that the Pacers' General Manager had suffered a bruised hip after being elbowed by a member of the Bucks.

Antetokounmpo tried to retrieve the game ball after the game but was unsuccessful. He also got into a heated altercation with Tyrese Haliburton as he left the Pacers' locker room.

Despite Antetokounmpo's incredible performance, the altercation has dominated the headlines. Haliburton added fuel to the fire by tweeting a meme that cryptically called out certain people for lying.

The upcoming rematch between the two teams on January 1st is sure to be an exciting one.
