Middleton, Portis each score 29 as Bucks stay alive with 115-92 victory over Pacers in Game 5

Associated Press  

MILWAUKEE — Bobby Portis apologized to his teammates for his ejection from a Game 4 loss that put the Milwaukee Bucks on the brink of playoff elimination. Portis and Khris Middleton each scored 29 points and the short-handed Bucks routed the Indiana Pacers 115-92 in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series on Tuesday night. I’m already ready for it.” Milwaukee won without injured stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard as the Fiserv Forum crowd chanted: “Bucks In Seven.” Antetokounmpo has missed this entire series and hasn’t played since straining his left calf on April 9. I think they’re very, very, very close.” The Bucks stayed alive thanks in part to a huge performance from Portis, who had been ejected just seven minutes into Game 4 after getting into a skirmish with Indiana’s Andrew Nembhard. “We just didn’t play with the consistent compete level we needed to,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said.
