Title: Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Buzzer-Beater Wins Bucks Over Pacers

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Buzzer-Beater Caps Emotional โคWin Over Former Team for Myles Turner

INDIANAPOLIS – Giannis Antetokounmpo โฃdelivered a โ€‹game-winning fadeaway jumper at the buzzer, silencing a vocal Indiana Pacers crowd and securing a victory for the Milwaukee Bucks in a tightly contestedโ€‹ rivalry game on Novemberโข 4, 2025. The โ€shot, โ€‹described by teammates as “surreal” and “2K-ish,” capped a nightโ€ where theโฃ Bucksโ€Œ rallied around new teammate โ€ŒMyles โฃTurner in his firstโ€ return to Indiana โ€since being traded.

The โ€Œgame carried added emotional weight for turner, โฃwho spentโข 10 seasons with the Pacers and remains the franchise’s all-time leader in blocked shots. Antetokounmpo emphasized the importance of theโ€Œ win for Turner, noting the relatively short averageโ€‹ career span of an NBA player – “4 1/2 years in the NBA.”

“Before the game, we can not stress itโ€Œ enough to Myles โขhow important it was for us to win this game for him,” Antetokounmpo said. “I’m just going to say this for Myles as maybe he didn’t say it for himself. The average life span of an NBA player, I think, isโ€Œ 4 1/2 years in the NBA. He had 10 years of service in oneโฃ franchise.”

Antetokounmpo acknowledged the challenging reception Turner received from the Indiana โ€‹crowd. “To be โฃable to come here in Indiana, all-time block leader, to be booed, he might not say it, but itโ€ kinda hurt, but we are here to pick him up and tell himโ€Œ how โคmuch we love him and respect โ€‹him.โ€Œ And we understand how much he gave for the team for Indiana and how much he’s willing to give for Milwaukee.”

The game-winner itself drew immediate reactions from Bucks โขplayers. Guard Gary Trent Jr.called the shot “gorgeous to see,” while cole Anthonyโ€‹ said he told Antetokounmpo he was “crazy” for attempting theโ€‹ difficult shot. “He spun and he waited for the second defender to comeโ€‹ catch up, andโ€ thenโ€ he shot it. So, that joe was โฃmad disrespectful, but that’s unbelievable. That’s an incredibleโฃ shot, and heโ€‹ bailed us out.”

Forward Khris Middleton attributed Antetokounmpo’s success to his dedicated work ethic. “I mean, that’s what he works on,” Green said.”You see him work on that in the gym. โฃIt’s just one of those moments where planning meets the moment and then you live with the result, make โ€or miss, knowing you practice it. It finally felt good toโ€Œ come out on the winning side of it here this time.”

Antetokounmpo himself reflected on the mindset required to take such a shot. “Youโค can live if you miss. You cannot live (with yourself) if you don’t shoot it,” he said. โ€”I’ve been in that position many times.Sometimes I’ve missed, sometimes I’veโข (made it). People don’t remember the timesโข you miss, thay remember all the times you make,โฃ so I’m happy about that.”

The win marked a significant โฃmoment inโ€Œ the developing rivalry between the Bucks and Pacers,โข a matchup that has featured dramatic contests โคover the past three seasons.

King (29): Shaq. Penny. Nick Anderson. Dennis Scott. Oh, how young Jay King wished that core could have stayed together โ€in the mid-1990s. At least I get reminded of them every โขtime I look โคat the beatiful star logo.

Jones (28): Simplicity wins โฃagain. Orlando didn’t have โขto do much, โ€‹and this is a great combination of incorporating the team’sโ€‹ colors and the star logo.

Koreen (24): The Magic’s colors and logo have always

Bold NBA 2025-26 season predictions: New champion, fresh faces in MVP race and more

Bold NBA 2025-26 Season Predictions: New Champion, Freshโข Faces in MVP Race and More

As theโ€Œ 2025-26 NBA season approaches, โ€Œanalysts are offering predictions rangingโ€‹ fromโ€ team success to individual accolades. Here’s a look at some of the most intriguing forecasts โ€‹for the upcoming year, based on recent reporting andโข observations.

Portland Trailโค Blazers: Yang Hansen’s Impact

Rookie Yang Hansen,โข the 7-foot-1 center drafted 16thโข overall โฃby the Blazers from China, is expected to make an immediate impact. Despite initial โ€Œskepticism surrounding the pick, Hansen’s unique skillset – combiningโค deft passing, long-rangeโฃ shooting, and agile footwork – has already impressed coach Chauncey Billups, who has declared him โขa rotation player. While not projected โคto outperform top pick Cooper Flagg, Hansen isโฃ anticipatedโข to be a captivating and effective contributor. As Jason Fast notes, “He will impress – and entertain.”

Sacramento Kings: Russell Westbrook‘s Potential

The Sacramento Kings’ acquisition of Russell Westbrook โ€‹presents a potentially positive scenario. Analyst Sam Amick suggests that Westbrook could thrive in a non-contendingโข environment, raisingโ€ the floor for a team with limited โ€‹ceiling. This differs significantly from his recent stints withโค high-expectation teams like โ€Œthe Lakers, Clippers, and Nuggets. The success of Westbrook could also impactโฃ the starting point guard position currently held by veteran Dennis Schrรถder.

San Antonio Spurs: Victor Wembanyama’s MVP Push

Victor Wembanyama โ€is poised for โ€a breakout season, with predictions placing him among โคthe topโ€ three contenders โคfor the MVP award. Jared Weiss observesโ€‹ that Wembanyama’s preseasonโ€ showcased a diverse skillset, hinting at a potentially unprecedented โ€‹stat line. If the Spurs can secure a top-six finish โฃin the Western Conference while Wembanyamaโฃ maintains impressive per-game statistics, he’s expected to challenge the lastโ€Œ two MVP winners.

Toronto Raptors: Ingram to Shine,Barnes to Fall Short

The toronto Raptors are โ€Œprojected to improve,and Brandonโ€ ingram is expected โขto beโ€‹ the โ€‹driving force behind that ascent. eric Koreen believes Ingram will be the โ€Œoffensive catalyst and highlights โ€his underrated defensiveโฃ value. โ€Ingram’s health will be crucial, but if โขhe staysโค on the court, โขhe’s โ€‹predicted to become โคa โขfocal point for opposing defenses and earn an All-Starโฃ selection. Conversely,Scottie Barnes is not expected to make the All-Star team.

Utah Jazz: Markkanen on the Move

The Utah Jazz are likely to trade Lauri Markkanen before the trade deadline.โข Zach Harper explains that the team’s โ€‹previous โคextension prevented themโค from โฃfully embracing a tanking strategy.Now, with the ability to trade Markkanen, โ€Œthe Jazz will seek to acquire additional assets, especially with a loaded โขupcoming draft, in their search for a franchiseโฃ player.

Washington Wizards: Shared โขScoring, Lowerโฃ Totals

The Washington Wizards โขare expected toโ€ embrace a more egalitarian offensive approach underโค Coach Brianโ€ Keefe, leading to a surprisingโ€‹ prediction: the team’s leading scorer will average underโข 20.0 โฃpoints per game. Josh Robbins points to the presence of veteran players like CJ McCollumโ€Œ and Khris Middleton, known forโข their โคteam-oriented play, and the potential for Cam Whitmore to come off the bench, as factors โขcontributing to a more distributed scoring load. โ€‹ Kyle Kuzma โ€‹(22.2 PPGโ€‹ two seasons ago) and Jordan Poole (20.5 PPG last season) previously led theโ€ team in scoring, but โ€a shift in philosophy is anticipated.

written by Dr. Michael Lee โ€“ Health Editor

Jayson Tatum Expressesโ€‹ Confidence in โฃFull Achilles Recovery, โขShares Rehab Insights with โฃFellow NBA Players

boston โขCeltics star Jayson โฃTatum provided a โฃpromising โฃupdate on his Achilles tendon rehabilitation, stating he feels “vrey, very confident” teh โขinjury won’t recur. Tatum shared his progress in โ€‹an โ€exclusive โ€interview with Poker โฃStrategy reporter DJ Siddiqi, emphasizing the importance of strength benchmarks over a fixed timeline for recovery.

The 2025 NBA season looms, with the Celtics aiming for another deep playoffโค run-potentiallyโ€ facing the Newโข York Knicks โ€in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Tatum’s Achillesโ€Œ tear, sustained during the playoffs, cast โฃa shadow over those aspirations. However, his optimistic outlook and detailed account of his rehab process offer a significant boost to Boston’sโข championship hopes and provide valuable insight for other players navigating similar injuries. Tatum explained, “The exact number, โ€I know the โฃnumber is low,” referring to the odds of reinjury. “Everybody thinksโข it’s a time-based recoveryโ€ฆThe most important thing is all these tests of your โคstrength, the strength in your calf, theโ€Œ strength in your leg.”

Tatum detailed the rigorous process of regaining strength, noting that achieving equal or greater strength in the injured leg compared to theโค healthy one is paramount. โ€‹”For some guys, that takes six, nine, 12 months,” he said. “Everybody’s just different.โฃ But โ€the surgeryโฃ that I got, the thingsโข that โคwe’ve been doing, I feel very, very confident in that surgical site. We won’t have that problem again.”

The dukeโค alum also revealed he’s been actively communicating with other NBA playersโฃ recovering fromโค Achilles โขinjuries, including Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers, Tyrese Haliburton of theโข Indiana Pacers, and Dejounte Murray of theโฃ New Orleans Pelicans. He specifically sought guidance from Lillard and Murray, who were โ€further along inโข their respective rehab journeys. “We’re allโข in the same boat,” Tatum said. “I just โ€‹ask a lot of questions, especially with Dame andโข Dejounte, those guys were aheadโ€Œ of me.” Murray tore his โ€‹Achilles in January, placing โขhim slightly ahead in the recovery timeline.
