The Indiana Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks played game six of their series on Thursday night, and Patrick Beverley has been a big topic of discussion since the game. Unfortunately for Beverley, it's not because of anything positive that he did in the game. Beverley did, however, throw a basketball into the crowd, purposefully trying to hit a fan. He missed his first throw and hit a woman in the head, got the ball back, then quickly chucked it back into the stands at the original person he was aiming for.
As you can see from the score in that video, the Bucks lost big on Thursday night and they were eliminated from the playoffs. The Pacers ended up winning the game 120-98, and Patrick Beverley ended up having a bad game. He finished 3/11 from the field and had six points. He clearly lost his cool at the end of the game and couldn't control himself.
Everyone around the NBA has been talking about this altercation since it went down, and Pat McAfee had a lot to say about it on the Pat McAfee Show.
“Now she’s from Indiana, she’s a Pacers fan, she’s tough,” Pat McAfee said. “She laughed it off after immediately getting hit in the head with a basketball, whatever, she's not even paying attention. Pacers just sealed their first playoff series win in 10 years, you go ‘what the hell, there’s no way someone just threw a basketball at my head.' Yeah actually a guy on the bench who had six points tonight is the guy that actually threw that at your head, six points, can’t hit for s**t, misses the human he’s trying to hit in the crowd, hits somebody else, gets the ball back, and goes that ball’s to you! Sends another one out there.”
Throwing the first ball into the stands is bad enough, but the fact that Beverley decided to throw another one after already hitting a different fan in the head is even more baffling. He is going to be paying the price for this one.
“The story of the night is that Patrick Beverley is an a**hole, not that the Indiana Pacers had won a playoff series for the first time in 10 years, and I personally don’t love that,” McAfee said.
There was more Patrick Beverley drama in the locker room
You would think that after Beverley had a minute to think about what he just did, he would've maybe calmed down and changed his behavior for the night. That is not what happened, however. With reporters surrounding him in the locker room, Beverley asked an ESPN reporter if she subscribed to his podcast. When she said no, he wouldn't let her ask him a question and ended up asking her to get her microphone away from him.
It was an all-time night for Beverley and things that made him look bad.
The Bucks are now done after losing their series to the Pacers, so Beverley will likely be serving a suspension next season because of his actions.
