The energy was electric at Gainbridge Fieldhouse

The game was all but over with roughly two and a half minutes to play, and the Bucks trailing by 20. In a bizarre incident, Bucks guard Patrick Beverley threw a basketball at a fan behind him from the team’s bench. He appeared to miss his target, a male Pacers fan, instead hitting a female Pacers fan in the side of the head before asking for the ball back.

The man collected the ball and tossed it back to Beverley, who immediately over-the-head, double-hand chucked it back at the fan. The fan deflected the ball as Bucks staff and security stepped in, but the fan and Beverley continued to exchange words.

Beverley scored six points in Game 6

Beverley, who averaged 8.6 points in the playoffs, peaking at 13, scored six in Game 6, adding five assists and two rebounds.
