The Detroit Pistons could neither stop nor contain Giannis Antetokounmpo during the game that the Milwaukee Bucks ended up winning 127-120 in overtime at the Fiserv Forum.

The powerful Greek forward finished the night with 59 points, the highest scoring performance so far this NBA season.

In the third quarter of the game, Isaiah Stewart tried to stop Antetokounmpo by grabbing the Greek player's jersey, who ended up on the floor, when he was going to the basket to try a dunk.

The dangerousness of the action was sanctioned by the referees as a level 2 flagrant foul, so Isaiah Stewart was ejected from the game.

A flagrant foul 2, which is called when referees see unnecessary and excessive , means immediate expulsion from the court.
