Giannis Antetokounmpo nailed a buzzer-beater and then mocked Indiana fans for booing ex-Pacers star Myles Turner in his return to Indianapolis on Tuesday (AEDT).

The 17-foot jumper saw Milwaukee beat the understrength Pacers 117-115, capping off a strong night for the Greek superstar, who had 33 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.

But his new teammate Turner, the former Pacers center, was the headliner after moving from the Eastern conference champions to their divisional rivals in the off-season.

Turner was booed all night, including during a pre-game video tribute, and responded with his own boos against Pacers fans when he hit a three during the game.

He then hit a tiebreaking two-pointer with 2:22 left in the game on an otherwise quiet night. His replacement, Isaiah Jackson, had 21 points and 10 rebounds in his highest-scoring game in almost four years, as the Pacers came back from 11 points down with 6:08 left in the game, tying it with 14.6 seconds to play.

But then came Antetokounmpo’s buzzer-beater, after which he also mocked Pacers fans with boos.

The result was further soured for the Pacers as Aussie Johnny Furphy – who had more rebounds than Turner at halftime – limped off with a left ankle injury. He then left the locker room on crutches.

The second-year player has been battling foot and ankle injuries since the pre-season and had played just twice this season prior to today.

Meanwhile, Bucks coach Doc Rivers was asked post-game to give an update on Antetokounmpo after the MVP contender was left clutching at his left knee after a contest on a layup attempt by Pascal Siakam that was called a clean block.

But instead of giving an update on his health, Rivers took the opportunity to sound off on the way his superstar forward is officiated.

“Yeah, well, the update is call the foul,” he said.

“That’s the update. Giannis drove to the basket and got completely wiped out. I mean, watch the video. He got completely wiped out and it’s a no-call. It’s amazing the difference of how Giannis is officiated.

“One of the refs even said, ‘Well, yeah, they’re hitting his arms, but he’s playing through it’. I said, ‘OK, it’s still a foul’. All right, he’s strong enough to play through it. He’s not going to let it stop him, but it’s still a foul.

“I thought he got fouled so many times and then their last play, what I was upset at, people complain about Shai (Gilgeous-Alexander) pushing off? That last play, Siakam just a complete forearm, threw a guy out of the way, right in front of the official, he was almost challenging him.

“We gotta be consistent with calls. A great example, if Giannis did that, it’s going to be an offensive foul. I didn’t like how the game was called in that regard. Giannis got strangled last game and it was nothing.

“Today, they gave him a flagrant because of the last game. I just think the way he gets officiated is not right and I get it’s hard. He’s like guarding a fast Shaq. It’s brutal.

“You can make a case — and I’m sure they do — ‘Hell, we can call a foul every time’. Well, if you do, they’ll stop fouling him. That’s my answer every time.”
