The intense game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers reached its final stage in their sixth meeting in the playoff series as the players got into a verbal altercation.
During a timeout, Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton and Bucks’ Damian Lillard were spotted exchanging heated words that had finally been deciphered. Haliburton allegedly said, “Get the f*ck out of my face,” while Lillard responded by saying, “You a b*tch.”
After some time, veteran forwards Pacers’ James Johnson and Bucks’ Bobby Portis Jr. joined in to make things worse instead of nullifying the argument, and both received double technical fouls for their actions.
Lillard answered back with his on-court actions, hitting 7 out of 16 shots on target from the floor along with 4 shots from the 3-point range and contributing a total of 28 points, but that wasn’t enough to secure a win for the Bucks. With 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 10 assists, Haliburton had the last laugh as the Pacers finished the game with a dominant 120-98 victory in Game 6 and a 4-2 win in the series.
The Pacers’ guard was still not done after eliminating the Bucks from the playoff tournament and continued to entertain the fans with his battle off the court.

The Milwaukee franchise suffered in the series without their main man, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and despite Lillard’s efforts, they couldn’t beat the Pacers. Following the Game 4 loss, Bucks guard Patrick Beverley criticized Tyrese Haliburton’s performance in a post-game locker room interview.

The Pacers’ All-Star guard took offense and to get back to Beverley, Haliburton mockingly wrote on X after game 6 (formerly Twitter), “Con man. Flip from above the rim” to his interview video. Lillard had written the same about Pat Bev before they became teammates.
While the postseason tournament is over for the bucks, the Pacers move on to the next round, which is more challenging against the NY Knicks, who have been quite successful lately. The Indiana squad will have to face the Knicks in front of the harsh New York crowd on Monday in the second-round series.
