Since dropping Game 2 of their first-round series against the Chicago Bulls in Milwaukee, the Bucks have displayed their dominance and made a statement even down an All-Star starter.
Bobby Portis, facing the franchise that drafted him out of Arkansas in 2015, was a key cog in Milwaukee’s success in Games 3 and 4 over the weekend. In that stretch, the 6-10 forward played the best basketball of his playoff career.
Last Friday in the Bucks’ 30-point win in Chicago, Portis poured in 18 points on 7 of 14 shooting and 4 of 8 from three-point range over 25:29 in the lineup.
