Fight Breaks Out With Heat Legend on Live TV as Giannis Antetokounmpo?s Bucks Battle for Survival in the NBA Playoffs 2023

The Miami Heat are eyeing to eliminate the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. It’s been just days since Jimmy Butler’s 56-point explosion. Holding a 3-1 lead, Miami aims to close out the series in five games. On the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. want to come back and keep the hopes of a second championship in three years alive. The intensity of the battle escalated as both clashed in Game 5. However, things went a little too far between Miami veteran Udonis Haslem and Bucks forward Bobby Portis, leaving the fans in shock.

Antetokounmpo and the Bucks are fighting to keep their season alive as Game runs close. Meanwhile, Haslem, who likely won’t play in the Playoffs, continues to be a menace from the bench.

Both the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami kept going back and forth. The game remained close, and with that, the desperation to break the deadlock increased. Unsurprisingly, a duel between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jimmy Butler took over the battle. However, there was also a near physical altercation between Heat’s Udonis Haslem and Bucks’ Bobby Portis.

Miami’s vocal leader stepped up and went right into Portis’ face. They had a brief exchange before team officials separated both. It seemed like the Bucks’ sixth man had calmed down. However, Haslem was still hot. The 42-year-old kept trying to reach Portis despite his teammates trying to hold him back.

UD received a technical foul for his antics and for continuing the altercation.
