Antetokounmpo: “Let’s not forget these four losses, even when we do … crazy things at night”

The Bucks they lost for the fourth time this year to the Pacers (142-130) and Giannis Antetokounmpo hopes that this will… “fire” his team.

“The Pacers came out of the locker room really strong and that’s why they put 47 points on us in the third quarter. They played good defense, got the rebounds, turned the ball over, made the shots and dominated. Defense is a matter of pride and effort. If you don’t have these, you can’t defend yourself. We play good defense at times and not at other times. We need to be more consistent. If we are not focused and let the opponent put 140+ points on us, we will not be able to win some games“, Greek Freak pointed out.

“This defeat is not the end of the world, even if it feels like it. It is good for us, because now we will play with more passion, we will respect our opponents more and we will realize that there are teams that can beat us four times in a season. We will be thinking about this, I hope for a long time. When we go home, at training, at the All Star break, even in our… personal moments, when we do… crazy things at night (ss smiled slyly). There is time to get better. We have to get better, me first. I have to be more aggressive, not stop in double teams. All players have to play better, no one can do it alone. We need to move the ball around, execute better, the coaches need to be tougher… So this loss could turn out to be good“, he added.
