The drama was on when Colin Sexton from the Jazz struck Giannis Antetokounmpo on the face when attempting a layup, leaving the latter in pain, on the floor.

It was a disappointing defeat for the Milwaukee Bucks who failed to capitalize on an out-of-form Utah Jazz. And it was certainly a shock of a result, as they lost123-108 at away ground. But it wasn’t just the result that caught all the headlines. In the first half between the Bucks and Jazz, it was Sexton’s attempt at a layup that hit Giannis on his face, resulting in the Power Forward on the ground. What led after that was a wild brawl between both teams, reminding fans of some past incidents related to a certain Draymond Green.

So much so that Giannis’ teammate Malik Beasley made sure to give a payback as he also produced an ugly swipe at Sexton, just moments after the incident.
