MILWAUKEE — Hours before the Milwaukee Bucks won a pivotal Game 5 on the road in Phoenix to move one win away from celebrating the ultimate prize, Pat Connaughton walked into the arena sporting a black T-shirt with the face of his teammate Bobby Portis plastered on the front.
On the shirt read, “Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!,” as in the chants he receives from fans at the Bucks’ home arena at Fiserv Forum. But Connaughton’s shirt received more attention after the game when he wore it to his postgame news conference.
