Giannis defends sitting on 76ers' court: What's 'wrong with having fun?'
After putting his Milwaukee Bucks up seven with 91 seconds left in overtime, Giannis Antetokounmpo plopped to the floor on the Philadelphia 76ers' home court and struck a pose.

The Bucks held on for the 109-105 road win, with Antetokounmpo recording a 32-point, 15-board double-double against a 76ers frontline that was without star big man Joel Embiid.
The two-time reigning MVP defended his actions postgame, chalking it up to good old-fashioned merriment.
"Is there something wrong with having fun?" Antetokounmpo said of the sequence, according to ESPN's Tim Bontemps.
However, not everyone appreciated the Greek Freak's joviality.
"I want to go and 'Stone Cold Stunner' him," veteran 76ers center Dwight Howard said, referring to former wrestler Steve Austin's finishing move. "But I already got one tech."
