Antetokounmpo, Pacers Involved in Postgame Altercations

The Indiana Pacers eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks from the NBA playoffs with a 119-118 overtime victory in Game 5, highlighted by Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning layup. Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded a triple-double but was involved in heated postgame confrontations with Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin and John Haliburton, Tyrese Haliburton's father. Cameras showed Antetokounmpo and John Haliburton going forehead-to-forehead before being separated by staff, though the nature of their exchange was not fully disclosed. Tyrese Haliburton later criticized his father's behavior and said he intends to address the situation with both men. The Pacers advance to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round, while the Bucks are left to reassess after another first-round exit. The incidents highlight the intensifying rivalry between the Bucks and Pacers.
