Overview
- In a 112-103 win at the United Center, Giannis Antetokounmpo threw down a breakaway windmill with 1.9 seconds left, prompting Bulls players to confront him as benches cleared without punches.
- Antetokounmpo said the late dunk was intended to jolt a team he noted sits 11th in the East, adding they are “fighting for our lives” to find an identity.
- Coby White labeled the move disrespectful, and Nikola Vučević referenced a local radio claim that Chicago declined interest in Giannis, a report that remains unverified.
- Pressed on his future, Antetokounmpo called the question disrespectful and said, “I’m here,” vowing to give everything while wearing the Bucks jersey.
- In his first game after eight missed with a right calf strain, Antetokounmpo posted 29 points and eight rebounds as Milwaukee improved to 13-19, with no league discipline announced to date.
