OKLAHOMA CITY — Giannis Antetokounmpo’s dunk with 1.3 seconds remaining won it for Milwaukee on Friday night. Though, maybe, just maybe, he stepped on the baseline.

Replays clearly showed Antetokounmpo stepped on the baseline on his drive. The Thunder pleaded for a review. Officials Derek Stafford, Ben Taylor and Leon Wood refused.
“In any reviewable matter, there has to be a whistle called on the floor,” Stafford said. “There was no whistle blown for the play, so we couldn’t review it.”
Antetokounmpo scored 23 points on 10-of-16 shooting, while adding 12 rebounds, six assists. Not sure why he’s so mad. The Bucks ended Oklahoma City’s six-game winning streak with the 97-95.
And, because you were wondering, here are all Matthew Dellavedova’s nine assists.
