Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo reacts to missing game-tying free throw v Celtics

The Milwaukee Bucks had an opportunity to force overtime against the Boston Celtics in their season-opener on Wednesday, only for Giannis Antetokounmpo to miss a clutch free throw. After Bucks' heartbreaking loss, Antetokounmpo discussed his missed free throw at the end of the game vs the Celtics. “One, two, three, four, five dribbles. Put the ball at your chin.” Antetokounmpo said, via The Athletic’s Eric Nehm. “Shoot it high. That’s what I say to myself over and over and over and over again.” With only two seconds remaining in the game, Jayson Tatum made an unbelievable bank shot from the three-point line to give the Celtics a 122-120 lead. After a timeout from the Bucks, Tristan Thompson fouled Giannis, giving him a chance to send the game into overtime. Despite the disappointing end to the contest, Antetokounmpo said that he’s going to use it as a learning experience moving forward. “You learn from it and the more you’re in a situation like that, the more you can succeed, the more you can get the best out of moments like that,” Antetokounmpo said. “So I want to be in those moments. I want to be down the stretch. I want to shoot the last two free throws. I want to shoot the last shot.” Source- CLUTCHPOINTS
