Jarrett Allen and the Brooklyn Nets upset Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday by a final score of 119-116, except Allen didn't even play.
It's one of the biggest upsets in recent memory, considering the Bucks have the best record in the NBA and the Nets were playing without Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, DeAndre Jordan, Spencer Dinwiddie, Wilson Chandler, Taurean Prince, Caris LeVert and Allen.
LeVert and Allen are in Orlando, but Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn decided to rest them versus the Bucks.
After Brooklyn's improbable win, Allen took to Twitter to call out a fan who promised he would get a Jarrett Allen tattoo if the Nets defeated the Bucks:
Just know that we all are waiting on that tattoo @birdsnets pic.twitter.com/RiPRpFMGBJ

This is why we love sports. No one was giving the Nets a chance in the world to beat the Bucks.
However, Brooklyn rallied around each other and got the big win down in Walt Disney World to improve to 32-35 on the season.
Jamal Crawford made his Nets debut against the Bucks, but he left the game after just six minutes due to a hamstring injury. Brooklyn got huge performances from Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (26 points) and Garrett Temple (19 points) to upset the Bucks.
Brooklyn's next game is on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. Allen and LeVert should be able to play in that one.
