WATCH: Giannis Antetokounmpo plays fake handshake trick on Jaylen Brown

Sunday afternoon saw the second meeting between the Boston Celtics and Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2024–25 NBA season. In Boston, the Celtics won the first game 119-108, but the season series is now in Milwaukee. The Boston Celtics, led by Jaylen Brown, had the final laugh during their 113-107 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. But after some lighthearted teasing, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo managed to get a chuckle someplace.

It appears like a poor decision on the part of the Greek Freak in the heat of the moment. However, given his disposition and sense of humor, it shouldn't be interpreted as malevolent. The final scoreboard, however, tells it all. With Giannis at the forefront, the Bucks jumped out to a double-digit lead over the reigning champions. Less than one and a half minutes into the second quarter, though, the two-time NBA MVP might have become a bit too combative.

Jaylen Brown executed a turnaround move in the post as Giannis was backing him down, hoping to grab a bucket. The 2024 NBA Finals MVP was sent crashing to the deck when the forward slammed his elbow into him. It appears like a poor decision on the part of the Greek Freak in the heat of the moment.

Boston gained possession of the ball after Giannis was penalized for the offensive charge. Brown received a high five from Giannis as the two player were making their way back down the floor. As the Celtics star ducked under Brown's hand, seeming to smooth back his hair, Antetokounmpo struck him with the "too slow" move. 

Jayson Tatum helped the team to get win

The Boston Celtics defeated the struggling Milwaukee Bucks 113-107 on Sunday afternoon thanks to a second-half comeback led by star player Jayson Tatum, who finished with 31 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists. Boston overcame a nine-point halftime deficit, and Tatum's two free throws with 5:51 remaining gave the Celtics the lead for good. The Bucks, who have dropped eight of nine games, had a season-high 43 points from Giannis Antetokounmpo. In addition, Antetokounmpo had five assists and 13 rebounds.
