Nobody likes losing and nobody likes when somebody rubs it in. That’s the gist of the exchange Damian Lillard hard with some Indiana Pacers players in Milwaukee Bucks’ Game 1 loss.
The Bucks lost by 17 points to their hosts on Saturday and although they tried to put up a fight late in the fourth quarter, they still succumbed to a defeat that showed past symptoms of their struggle.
Game was basically over when Tyrese Haliburton, who was on the free throw line, seems to have triggered Lillard who was on the bench on civilian clothes as he is still recovering from a blood-clot injury.
A time out was called and the two started chirping.
“What are you gonna do now?” Lillard asked Haliburton on his face.
“We suck? We’re gonna see about that… and I’ll beat your a**”” he continued.
“You’re gonna see. You’re gonna see,” Dame said in the confrontation while being calmed down by Pat Connaughton.
“You’re gonna see and I’ll beat your ass.”

Their teammates eventually got involved.

Damian Lillard’s and Bucks’ bad blood with Pacers
There’s no love lost between these two players and between these two teams.
The two were also the match up in last season’s playoffs wherein the Bucks, who were without Giannis Antetokounmpo the whole series, lost in six games.
But there were incidents even before that.
There was Antetokounmpo who had to go inside the locker room of the Pacers to retrieve the ball used when he scored his career hight 64 points against them.
As for Dame, Haliburton got to his never during an NBA Cup game when the latter copied his Dame Time celebration.
The next few games will be interesting, especially with Lillard set to return.
