Giannis Antetokounmpo got his revenge on the Indiana Pacers, hitting a game-winning buzzer-beating turnaround fadeaway in Monday's game at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. NBA fans online got a laugh at the Pacers' announce team for their reaction to the shot by "The Greek Freak."
With the game tied at 115, Antetokounmpo had the ball against Pascal Siakam near the left elbow. AJ Green set a screen and got the switch, with Aaron Nesmith now defending the Bucks superstar, who started backing down near the free-throw line.
Isaiah Jackson came in to help, with Antetokounmpo turning around and hitting a fadeaway shot at the buzzer to sink the Pacers 117-115. The fans booed the two-time MVP, who has a confrontational history with the Pacers, especially in the past two seasons.

Fans noticed how the announcers, Eddie Gill and Chris Denari, reacted nonchalantly to Giannis Antetokounmpo's game-winner. Some forgot that they were Indiana Pacers announcers, so they won't be excited when their team loses.
Others just can't help but laugh at their reaction. Here are some of the comments on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Giannis hit a wild shot for the win and the announcers sound like they’re about to fall asleep you can’t make this up
Pacers have the worst announcers in the league
Why would the opposing teams announcers be excited about losing, they aren’t a national broadcast there’s no need to hide bias lmfao
Commentator died inside lol
Pacers announcers in so much pain 😭
LMFAO the announcers were so salty
Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks were expected to get the win on Monday since the Indiana Pacers were so depleted with injuries. The Pacers had six players on their injury report before the game, which included Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin, TJ McConnell, Kam Jones, Andrew Nembhard and Obi Toppin.
It has been a tough start to the season for the Pacers due to injuries. They dropped to 1-6 after the loss to the Bucks.
