Asked about the late sequence and the whistle-filled night, <a href="https://x.com/eric_nehm/status/1984802345830498419" rel="noopener">both players kept it tight</a>. As relayed on X by beat reporter Eric Nehm, Antetokounmpo said, “I don’t want to comment on the last play… I don’t want to get fined.” Turner echoed the feeling: “I’ll watch my comments. I don’t need no smoke from the league right now.”</p><p>The restraint came after a game that begged for hot takes. Sacramento outlasted Milwaukee 135–133 at Fiserv Forum, leaning on a balanced attack and a big free-throw edge. Zach LaVine dropped 31 points, DeMar DeRozan had 29, and Domantas Sabonis and Dennis Schroder each added 24. The Kings shot 35-of-40 at the stripe, while the Bucks went 20-of-31. Despite shooting 59.8% from the field, Milwaukee couldn’t bridge that gap late. Giannis Antetokounmpo finished with 26 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists, via the ESPN Box Score.  </p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-news-cole-anthony-ejected-kings-game-russell-westbrook-play">Tensions spiked in the second half when Russell Westbrook</a> wrapped up Antetokounmpo on a breakaway, sparking a near-scrum. Afterward, crew chief Mitchell Ervin explained in the <a href="https://x.com/eric_nehm/status/1984796033763729869" rel="noopener">pool report</a> that officials ruled common foul because they “did not observe” illegal contact on the final free-throw box-out and saw no windup or high-impact elements on the earlier Westbrook play. That explanation poured gasoline on a lively debate but also clarified why the calls stood.  </p><p>Online, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-news-russell-westbrook-giannis-antetokounmpo-tangled-up-bucks-kings">fans treated the Westbrook-Giannis sequence like a federal case</a>. Clips ricocheted across social feeds with arguments over flagrant thresholds and star protection. The discourse ran hot enough to trend, which tends to happen when a two-point game ends with elbows, box-outs, and no whistles.  </p><p>The Bucks blistered nets from the floor and still fell because Sacramento won the possession and free-throw battles. Kyle Kuzma’s fourth-quarter heater and Ryan Rollins’ playmaking kept Milwaukee close, but Sacramento made the timely stops and hit freebies. LaVine and DeRozan handled the closing chores, while Sabonis controlled the glass.  </p><p>So, yes, the officiating dominated the postgame conversation. Antetokounmpo and Turner refused to fan it. For Milwaukee, those fixes start with discipline, fewer reach-ins, stronger box-outs, and a better whistle game, because when you shoot nearly 60% and still lose, the margins scream louder than any comments postgame.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Yesterday, Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner went viral after some of his podcast comments went viral. The clip featured Turner <a href="https://x.com/Fullcourtpass/status/1983970213319278917?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1983970213319278917%7Ctwgr%5Ecd02cb4fd5928a51144a590c8892dfd2283aaa37%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hoopshype.com%2Fstory%2Fsports%2Fnba%2Frumors%2F2025%2F10%2F30%2Fmyles-turner-tyrese-haliburton-wouldnt-be-talking-the-same-s-if-hes-in-the-middle-of-the-street%2F86991734007%2F" rel="noopener">seemingly dissing</a> former Indiana Pacers teammate Tyrese Haliburton. After his surprise departure from the 2025 Eastern Conference champions, fans were quick to throw hate at Turner.</p><p>“Tyrese Haliburton knows he’s protected, too,” Turner said on the “Thanalysis” podcast. “So he can go out there, talk his s***, say whatever he wants to do, and then he knows he has backup. He’s not going to be talking the same s*** if he’s in the middle of the street.”</p><p>Turner walked back on his comments a few hours after the clip went viral. The Bucks star understands that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-news-myles-turner-stabs-pacers-back-again-latest-celebrated-take">there’s some sort of rivalry now after he left the Pacers,</a> but he wants fans to know that <a href="https://x.com/Original_Turner/status/1984094256299127078">he’s got nothing but love</a> for Haliburton.</p><p>“Man I Know It’s Fun To Hate Me Rn Because Of The Rivalry And Allat But Dont Let This Clip Farming Culture Get To Yall Head Me And @Hali Went To War Together For 3 Years And He Did Nun But Elevate My Career Dead This False Narrative Immediately It’s All Love On My Side,” Turner wrote on X.</p><p>Turner and Haliburton were teammates since 2022, when the star guard was traded to the Pacers from the Sacramento Kings. It was in Indiana where Haliburton broke out as one of the game’s premier guards. The point guard made a name for himself as a crafty passer, with Turner being one of his favorite targets in the paint.</p><p>Together, Turner and Haliburton made a shocking upset run to the NBA Finals last season. Turner was an instrumental part in their run through the Eastern Conference Finals, with his hot shooting being a key asset in their wins against the Bucks, Cavaliers, and the Knicks. The Pacers came close to completing the Cinderella run in Game 7, but Haliburton’s Achilles injury early in the game ultimately spelled disaster for the team.</p><p>In the following offseason, Turner decided to sign with the Bucks in the offseason. There was a little controversy about the signing, as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-news-myles-turner-100-salty-pacers-contract-talks">Turner continues to voice his displeasure about how the Pacers handled the negotiation.</a></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He’s appreciated his first few games with his new team. But that has not changed how Turner feels about his contract talks with the Indiana Pacers, and the circumstances that caused him to leave for the Bucks. Turner spoke on the Thanalysis Podcast about being <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LKNtFvJwps" rel="noopener">salty about how everything went down</a>.</p><p>“Pascal was in a contract year. T.J. McConnell was in a contract year. Aaron Nesmith was in a contract year. I could go down the list, but you go through that – and we had a great run,” Turner stated on the podcast.</p><p>Turner was already one of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/10-greatest-pacers-in-franchise-history-ranked">best Pacers in franchise history,</a> and many expected him to remain with the team. Likewise, he acknowledged that everyone around the organization kept telling him that the team would take care of everyone because the Pacers kept winning. The circumstances and expectations rose when the Pacers went to the NBA Finals.</p><p>“All everybody told me was ‘Myles, just keep your head down. Keep your head down and work. You’re going to get taken care of.’ Then, I hear the rumors: ‘Indiana’s going into the luxury tax for the first time ever,'” Turner went on.</p><p>Turner also recalled what happened after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-tyrese-haliburton-leaves-nba-finals-game-7-thunder-calf-injury">Tyrese Haliburton sustained the injury</a> that will keep him out for the entire 2025-26 NBA season. He believed the front office had changed their minds about contending, and by virtue, extending him with the contract he wanted. The contract talks stalled, and Turner and the Pacers were much farther apart than they believed. Ultimately, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-news-myles-turner-signing-official-no-pacers-sign-trade" rel="noopener">Turner would sign with the Bucks,</a> the Pacers’ rivals, beginning a new era and a chance to play his former team four times a year.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/bucks-myles-turner-return-pacers-game-announced">Turner will return to Indiana</a> on Monday, November 3, as the Bucks battle the currently winless Pacers. So far, he is off to a slower start than anticipated, averaging 8.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game while shooting 31.6 percent from the field. But the game against his former team might inspire Turner to take his game to the next level.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
