Does Giannis not get benefit of the doubt? A look at Charlotte foul
Jim Owczarski and JR Radcliffe discuss the end of the Milwaukee Bucks’ loss to Charlotte, the Doc Rivers fine and the Giannis Whistle.
Last season, the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers met in the semifinals of the NBA In-Season Tournament in Las Vegas.
This year, they met much earlier in pool play the same tournament, which has been renamed the Emirates NBA Cup.
The Bucks won their first game in the tournament last week against the Toronto Raptors and have games remaining with the Pacers, Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons. The Pistons lead the Group B standings at 2-0.
After starting the season 2-8, the Bucks have taken advantage of a stretch of mostly home games and have won four of five.
Oshkosh North High School graduate Tyrese Haliburton is averaging 15.3 points and 8.3 assists a game for the Pacers, who have lost four of five and, like the Bucks, are off to a disappointing start, at 6-9.
Last season, the Pacers dominated the regular-season series with Milwaukee and eliminated the Bucks from the playoffs.
