"Giannis thinking of a dad joke post-game instead of helping" - Brook Lopez and Trey Lyles' feud sparks hilarious reactions and memes amongst NBA fans

NBA action on Monday night saw an altercation develop as Brook Lopez and Trey Lyles went at each other at the end of the game. With the Bucks and Kings players getting into a fight, NBA fans couldn't resist sending in some hilarious reactions to the situation.

The Milwaukee Bucks handed the Sacramento Kings a 133-124 loss at home on Monday night. While Giannis Antetokounmpo's offensive masterclass should have been the highlight of the night, fireworks were still on the horizon.

In the closing seconds of the game, Antetokounmpo dribbled off the clock. While keeping the ball away from Kings forward Trey Lyles, Giannis was fouled by Lyles.

The situation was mild until Lyles appeared to shove Giannis out of frustration. Although Antetokounmpo reacted in a calm manner, Bucks center Brook Lopez came over to assess the situation.

When Lopez confronted Lyles, the Kings forward shoved Lopez by putting a hand in his face. All hell broke loose after this point as the benches cleared to stop the fight.

Kings star Domantas Sabonis got in between the two to break up the fight. Eventually, both players were ejected from the game. Lopez was seen walking off with blood streaming down the side of his face.

Trey Lyles received some love from the fans for his actions. However, fans wasted no time in roasting Lyles for not being relevant enough to be named by the referee.

The impact of the fight was virtually insignificant in the grand scheme of things. As the Bucks walked away with another win, there was practically no downside for Milwaukee.

Brook Lopez played a huge role in Monday night's win

The Milwaukee Bucks improved to 49-19 on the season following their win against the Sacramento Kings. The win featured a dominant offensive display by Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was returning from injury. However, the Greek Freak benefitted from a lot of support.

Brook Lopez was massive for the Bucks in this regard. Contributing to the winning effort with 23 points, eight rebounds, and four assists, Lopez did a great job keeping Milwaukee ahead.

Additionally, Lopez faced a massive challenge as he took on Kings star Domantas Sabonis on the defensive end. Although Sabonis managed to dominate the rebounding glass, Lopez did a terrific job of restricting him to 23 points.

Lopez's +/- of+21 was the second-highest on the team behind Jrue Holiday. Needless to say, his impact on the floor was felt. With only two losses in their last 22 games, the Bucks certainly look like one of the best teams in the league at the moment.
