Shortly after the Milwaukee Bucks fell short to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, Giannis Antetokounmpo and brother Thanasis got into a heated NSFW Greek exchange with a fan as they made their way back to the locker room at Staples Center.
Watch the footage below:
There aren't any translations for what the Antetokounmpo brothers were saying. What's certain is that they were definitely not in a good mood after the Lakers handed the Bucks their 10th loss of the season,
The Bucks and Lakers could very well potentially face off for the NBA title in June. With that on the back of their minds, Friday night's showdown between the league's top two teams definitely carried a lot of emotion. And it showed with Giannis and Thanasis' post-game confrontation with some Greek fans in Los Angeles.
The Lakers avenged their December loss to the Bucks with a 113-103 victory at home. The win clinched them a spot in the postseason for the first time in seven years.
LeBron James led the Lakers with a massive 37-point performance on 12-of-21 shooting to go along with eight rebounds and eight assists. Anthony Davis added 30 points and nine boards for the Purple and Gold.
On the other, Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 32 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists. The Greek Freak did not get much help, with fellow All-Star forward Khris Middleton turning in a sour 5-of-19 shooting performance.
Now that the Lakers and Bucks have already one-upped the other, this should become an interesting match-up should they both come out as the champions of their respective conferences. However, there are several teams in both the East and the West which could spoil a potential Finals series between the two best teams in the NBA.
