Self-criticism on behalf of everyone at Bucks did the John Antetokounmpo after loss to the Bulls in overtime. The Greek Freak admitted that his team didn’t play as it should and could have, that’s why he was punished.
“If you look at the whole picture, we didn’t deserve to win. We didn’t play well, we didn’t respect the game. We played hard at times, but we shouldn’t have been in that situation. We didn’t perform as well as we could and sometimes the God of basketball gives justice. The Bulls played better than us and deserved the win more. We cannot always depend on our talent. Today we didn’t put ourselves in a position to win“, he said.
As for the decision not to foul on the last drive of the fourth period, which sent Alex Caruso into overtime with a three-pointer, he said:We wanted to play defense. We were at +3, at worst we would go to overtime. We have seen many instances of teams fouling for shots and others deciding to play defense and live with the result. The Bulls executed the last drive well and Caruso made the 3-pointer. Coaches and teams have different philosophies. We have seen such picks lose championships or win games. You never know which one is the best».
