Throughout the years, Lance Stephenson has managed to come up with some in-game antics that usually results to him getting under the skin of his opponents. On Monday, he once again found a way to get John Henson off his game, as he intentionally tripped him while getting down on defense to the Milwaukee Bucks’ side of the floor.

After seeing the clip that Stephenson clearly did it on purpose, the Bucks big man took to his Twitter account to retweet the video. It also included an Emoji of a face with a raised eyebrow, as he may found it surprising and hard to believe that the Indiana Pacers swingman placed his leg on his path to trip him.

To add insult to injury, Stephenson and the Pacers even had the last laugh of the night, as they won the game, 92-89. He had a solid game off the bench, finishing with 11 points, three rebounds and four assists, to help his team’s cause, and provide a spark in limited minutes. Bojan Bogdanovic top-scored for the home team, recording 29 points, to go along with four rebounds and three assists, while Victor Oladipo had 14 points, five rebounds and five assists of his own.
There is a chance that both teams could meet again in the playoffs, depending on the seedings in the Eastern Conference. Should that come into fruition, the incident involving both players will onlymake it even more competitive, with Henson likely more fired up to face the Pacers and avenge the trip he received from Stephenson.
