Tyler Haliburton made the game-winning, series-ending shot in last night's Pacers-Bucks matchup.
Seconds later, Tyler's dad got in Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo's face in the middle of the court

Giannis called Mr. Haliburton's behavior "very disrespectful" and "totally unacceptable."
Tyler agrees.
Respect Haliburton a lot for this. His dad put him in a super bad spot tonight after what is one of the great moments of his career so far. Cool that he just disavowed it immediately. pic.twitter.com/iiTPWLlPb8

"I had no idea it happened until I got to the back and was showed the video," Tyler revealed. "My and my pops have talked about that and I don't agree with what transpired there from him."
