Milwaukee Bucks’ home, Fiserv Forum erupted in joy and jubilance when their veteran point guard Patrick Beverley made Indiana Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton his latest casualty of “too small” celebration in the NBA Playoffs Game 5.
The Bucks, who were playing without their star players in Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard due to their respective injuries in the fifth playoff game against the Pacers, fought hard to secure a crushing victory over the visitors by 115-92 in the first round of the Eastern Conference series on Tuesday.
However, the Pacers’ Toppin started the rage earlier, leading to Beverley’s signature pose after the near interval. It started with Patrick’s defensive approach to Toppin which the Pacers’ sixth man took as excess and shoved Beverley from his way. Following that, Beverley indulged in an interaction with Haliburton when the seasoned guard landed up in possession against his nemesis.
Though, Beverley didn’t hesitate to go deep as he dragged him towards the paint before finishing the case with a spinning floater. Beverley added the cheers with a “too small” celebration to engage the Bucks crowd.

Coming into the match, the Bucks are now trailing in the crucial playoffs series by 3-2 margin and a defeat in one of the next two matches could end their case in this season. They would also like to get some services from two of the highest point-scorers from the regular season, Lillard and Antetokounmpo.
