The Milwaukee Bucks’ Damian Lillard sent a subtle warning to the Indiana Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton following his Dame Time celly on Thursday.

Apparently, Tyrese Haliburton’s Dame Time celebration didn’t sit well with Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard. The latter sent a subtle warning to the Indiana Pacers playmaker on Thursday, per Yahoo Sports’ Vincent Goodwill.

Dame on Tyrese: “As many times as I’ve done it…when you dish it out, you gotta be willing to take it.”

He added: “when you’re having your moment it’s important to be careful. Be humble. You never know when the tables turn.”

The controversial moment occurred in the waning moments of the Pacers’ 128-119 win over the Bucks in the semifinals of the NBA In-Season Tournament. Tyrese Haliburton hit a step-back three-pointer over Milwaukee’s Brook Lopez with 49.1 seconds left in the game.

Haliburton’s clutch trey put the game out of reach. His three-pointer put Indy ahead to stay, 122-114. Television cameras caught the Pacers star looking at his wrist and apparently mocking Damian Lillard’s Dame Time celly.

To Damian Lillard’s credit, he didn’t call out Tyrese Haliburton in an extreme manner. The way Dame said it never portrayed Haliburton as the villain.

For Haliburton’s part, he had a different take on the celebration. He knew his trifecta iced the game for the Pacers. The Pacers star also knew his team was destined for bigger things moving forward.

“It’s our time. It’s our time as a group,” Tyrese Haliburton said after the game.

The Bucks, who have a 15-7 win-loss record, are still in second place in the Eastern Conference despite the devastating defeat. But Milwaukee lost to Indiana this season for the second time in as many games.

The Bucks’ previous defeat by the Pacers on November 10 was 126-124. Giannis Antetokounmpo erupted for 54 points in that particular game. The Bucks lost their 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, despite his best efforts.

However, in this match, the Bucks’ two biggest stars seemed unable to find common ground despite still scoring a lot of points. But it’s hard to find coordination between them

After regrouping, Milwaukee will play the Chicago Bulls on Monday. Two days later, the Bucks and Pacers will play each other again.

Will Damian Lillard get his revenge on Tyrese Haliburton next week? Get your popcorn ready.
