There was a lot that happened in Saturday night’s game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Sacramento Kings at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Separate heated moments involving Bobby Portis, Domantas Sabonis, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Russell Westbrook added so much spice to an already flavorful matchup.
The drama went down to the wire, with Antetokounmpo failing to get the refs to blow their whistles on what many thought was a foul on Westbrook.
The Bucks were down by three points when AJ Green went to the free-throw line with only a little over a second left in the fourth period. Green made the first one and missed the next attempt. Antetokounmpo went for the rebound but was slowed down by Westbrook on what the Bucks thought was a foul on the Kings guard. However, no foul was called.
After the game, the NBA released the pool report, explaining some of the decisions made in the contest.

Of course, MIlwaukee fans were not satisfied by the pool report.
“Technical on GT for flailing with DeMar DeRozan on the court is so f*cking rich 😂,” said a fan on X.
Another one said: “After Donaghy and the 2001 Conference Finals games I shouldn’t be surprised refs are dirty, but man that was egregious.”
From a commenter: “First question, how much you have on this game? No further questions.”
“I was in attendance tonight at floor level and the officiating was beyond awful. Seemed… intentional.,” a social media user posted.
Via a different commenter: “All these bad calls and the Bucks lost by 2? Didn’t watch the game it must’ve been really frustrating”
Said another: “He literally didn’t answer a thing and just dodged everything”
