It was a disappointing night for Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley.
From Milwaukee's 120-98 season-ending Game 6 loss to the Indiana Pacers to Beverley throwing the ball into the stands to his disappointing exchange with an ESPN producer after the game, it's a night the veteran will want to forget. is.
As for Beverley throwing a basketball into the stands at a Pacers fan, we're now learning more about the events leading up to the incident. Pacers fans chanted, “Cancun… Cancun 3 on!” Shams Charania said as Bucks players tried to break the huddle. Athletic.
This phrase from a fan who hinted that Bucks players would end the season without a championship and go on vacation was apparently the straw that broke the camel's back for Beverley, who lost his cool on the Milwaukee bench. It seems so.
It seems silly that a phrase as innocuous as a Pacers fan yelled at the Milwaukee bench would infuriate Beverley, but sadly the end result was a Bucks guard throwing the ball away out of malice. The result was a double toss to the stands.
Beverley is expected to hear from the league office in the near future.
