In a narrow defeat, Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers expressed frustration over a controversial foul called on Giannis Antetokounmpo against LaMelo Ball in the closing seconds of their game against the Charlotte Hornets. The foul, which appeared questionable upon review, allowed Ball to sink two free throws, securing the Hornets' victory.

This incident follows a similar situation earlier in the week against the Detroit Pistons, where a late-game call also went against Antetokounmpo, although the Bucks ultimately won that match.
