Both, the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami kept going back and forth. The game remained close, and with that, the desperation to break the deadlock increased. Unsurprisingly, a duel between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jimmy Butler took over the battle. However, there was also a near physical altercation between Heat’s Udonis Haslem and Bobby Portis.
Miami’s vocal leader stepped up and went right into Portis’ face. They had a brief exchange before team officials separated both. It seemed like the Bucks’ sixth man had calmed down. However, Haslem was still hot. The 42-year-old kept trying to reach Portis despite his teammates trying to push him back.
UD received a technical foul for his violent display and continuing the altercation.
As a leadership presence in the locker room, Udonis Haslem barely cracks. However, it seems that might have also cracked the shell of the Miami Heat. Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks are rallying toward a convincing win in Game 5. Unless Butler or anyone from Miami can produce a miracle moment, it looks like a Game 6 is inevitable between the two sides.
