The Celtics dominated the Bucks 140–99 on Thursday night, but even the large margin of victory didn’t stop tensions flaring between the two Eastern Conference stalwarts.
With Boston up by 44 points in the fourth quarter, Milwaukee’s Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Boston’s Blake Griffin had a physical play on one end of the floor, with Griffin seemingly unhappy by the lack of a foul call. When the ball came back down the floor, Antetokounmpo had the ball under the basket and Griffin came down with a hard foul as the Bucks forward attempted a layup.
Antetokounmpo wasn’t happy with it, and he reacted by headbutting Griffin.
