Pistons’ Isaiah Stewart uses ‘dangerous play’ to stop Giannis Antetokounmpo

No one could stop Giannis Antetokounmpo on Wednesday night — even as the Pistons tried reliving their “Bad Boys” past.

The Bucks star forward was in the midst of a career game against Detroit with 45 points late in the third quarter when Isaiah Stewart took his defensive tactics too far.

With Detroit up 79-71, Stewart was roped into defending a pick-and-roll, guarding Antetokounmpo and shading near Bucks ball handler Pat Connaughton.

As the pᴀss came in to Antetokounmpo, Stewart, clearly beat on the play, reached up for Antetokounmpo’s jersey and dragged him to the floor.
