WATCH: The Bully Gets Bullied as Jazz Forward Eric Paschall Destroys Giannis Antetokounmpo With a Poster

The former number 1 seeds of the Western Conference from last season, Utah Jazz have handed a tough loss to the reigning champions, Milwaukee Bucks. In that process, Eric Paschall created a lifelong memory for himself. In crunch time, he dropped a hammer dunk on the Greek Freak Giannis Antetokounmpo. This dunk solidified a strong lead for the Utah Jazz with around 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

It was unusual to see Giannis on the receiving end of such a hammer. Since fans are mostly used to seeing him on the delivering end of such dunks. As Utah Jazz won the game, it was arguably this dunk that was the morale crusher for the Bucks. Fans could not believe that the reigning Finals MVP could get posterized like this. Here’s a look at the highlight dunk from the game.

What does this mean for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks?

The Milwaukee Bucks went down 3-4 after losing three straight games. Simultaneously, the Utah Jazz pushed their record up to a 5-1 after a strong start to the season. While the Milwaukee Bucks played without Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday in this game, Jazz was in full strength. They saw an impressive offensive performance from Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley.
