Short-handed Bucks take another hit with Bobby Portis Jr.'s early ejection vs. Pacers in Game 4

INDIANAPOLIS — Bobby Portis Jr. let his emotions get the best of him Sunday night and it proved costly for the already short-handed Milwaukee Bucks. With Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard both out with injuries, coach Doc Rivers had spent two days talking about the key role Portis needed to play if the Bucks intended to overcome a 2-1 series deficit. Then, less than seven minutes into Game 4, Portis grabbed a towel and was escorted to the locker room after drawing two technical fouls and an ejection on the same play. “He missed four free throws, that’s fatigue.” And things could get even worse Tuesday night.
