Jaylen Brown Didn't Hold Back His Thoughts On Giannis Antetokounmpo
The Boston Celtics advanced to a 9-2 record on the season after earning an impressive 113-107 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. After trailing by 11 points entering halftime, Boston outscored Milwaukee by 17 points in the second half to secure the victory.
Jayson Tatum was the difference-maker for the Celtics in this one, as the 26-year-old superstar forward finished with 31 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists while shooting 33.3% from the field. Additionally, four other players on the roster recorded 14 or more points each, giving Tatum plenty of help in Sunday's contest.
However, there was a moment in the game that caught the attention of Celtics and Bucks fans alike. Antetokounmpo attempted a spin move in the post with Jaylen Brown guarding him. But the Bucks star elbowed Brown in the head on the play, resulting in a charge call on Antetokounmpo.
As the two trotted back down the court, Antetokounmpo held out a hand for Brown to shake it. But the 29-year-old power forward pranked the Celtics' superstar instead.
Brown was not too pleased with the prank, as he voiced his opinion during a postgame interview in the locker room. When asked about the fake handshake, the 28-year-old Celtics' star called Antetokounmpo, "a child."
The Celtics' star seemingly had the last laugh on Sunday after making it clear he's focused on winning games when reacting to Antetokounmpo's prank. Boston is firmly in second place of the Eastern Conference with just the 11-0 Cleveland Cavaliers ahead of them. Brown finished the contest with 14 points, five rebounds, and four assists while shooting 30.7% from the field and hitting one three-pointer out of five attempts.
