JB Bickerstaff was not happy with that sequence. So he got T’d up.
Ausar Thompson tried to pick up Giannis Antetokounmpo full-court with some physical defense. Antetokounmpo shedded him with his off-arm. Thompson came back with the same physicality and got a foul. –

I mean, he really didn’t have any money, and now he’s still living like he doesn’t have any money. You can’t change that.” -via / December 3, 2024

Jrue Holiday on Giannis Antetokounmpo: . I’m telling you, there were times—matter of fact, remember when Giannis got hurt in that Atlanta series, during the Eastern Conference Finals? He was out for about a week or whatever. Once we got to the Finals, the practice before the Finals was the first day he actually practiced with us. I’m talking about, he’s going 150 miles an hour—taking off, dunking, going all out. We’re like, ‘If you don’t slow your ass down, we don’t need you for today. We need you tomorrow!’ But that’s just the type of mentality and hunger that Giannis has every single game, literally in everything he does on the court.” -via / December 3, 2024
