Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo put together an incredible 64-point performance in the team’s 140-126 win against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.

However, what he wanted more than the team’s 17th win of the season was the game ball.

Antetokounmpo exchanged heated words with Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton and other members of the opposing team’s staff and raced toward Indiana’s locker room as the teams squared off in the hallway over the dispute for the basketball.

The Bucks wanted the game ball to remember Antetokounmpo’s game. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said the Pacers took the ball to celebrate Oscar Tshiebwe’s first point. After the confrontation, there was still confusion over who had which game ball.

"I have no idea. I’m not going to lie," Antetokounmpo said. "I have no idea. I don’t know. I really don’t know. I have a ball, but I don’t know if it’s the game ball. 

"It doesn’t feel like the game ball to me. It feels like a brand new ball. I can tell. I played, what, 35 minutes today. I know how the game ball felt. The ball that I have, which I’ll take, and I’ll give it to my mom for sure, but I don’t know if it’s actually the game ball."
