The 2025-26 season has long been lost for the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a>, but Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> is not just giving up without a fight. Despite all the trade rumors involving him, he\u2019s proven to be as committed of a star as there can be for a floundering Bucks franchise, but on Thursday, they fell to 27-38 on the season \u2014 six games back of the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference \u2014 after taking a 112-105 loss to the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n

There was one pivotal moment in the fourth that swung the game out of the Bucks\u2019 reach. With less than a minute to go, Antetokounmpo decided to go for a home run play and pull up for a three-point attempt, which he missed. On the other end, the Heat found the hot hand in Pelle Larsson, who swished a triple to extend the Heat\u2019s lead<\/a> to six with less than 30 seconds left in the ballgame.<\/p>\n

After the game, the Bucks star admitted to being frustrated with himself, wishing that he took<\/a> more threes earlier in the game to get himself in better rhythm for when the time came for him to make a game-tying triple.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m kind of upset with myself because I didn\u2019t shoot \u2013 like if I had shot maybe one or two early in the first half when I was wide open and I just kept on passing it to get the better shot for my teammates and I wasn\u2019t trusting myself,\u201d Antetokounmpo said, via Eric Nehm of The Athletic.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe, if I had shot those two, maybe I\u2019d feel a little bit better and maybe that shot would have gone in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Antetokounmpo felt that he made the right play, and he was never going to regret being aggressive in hunting his shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the time I do the right thing, take good shots, so\u2026I just did not make it,\u201d Antetokounmpo added. \u201cBut again, I\u2019m being aggressive. I don\u2019t regret being aggressive. I regret when I\u2019m passive\u2026the ball didn\u2019t go in.\u201d<\/p>\n
