“I did (talk to Beverley) right away because that’s neither the Milwaukee way nor the Bucks way,” Rivers said Athlete. “We are better. Pat feels terrible about this. He also understands emotions – it’s an emotional game and things happen – unfortunately you get judged immediately and he let his emotions get the better of him.

Rivers further added, “I’m glad he (Adams) called. It didn’t come from us. We talked about things that just can’t be done, so I’m glad he called because he was the one who called him and we didn’t tell him to make that call.

“And then going into the locker room and turning to the female reporter, I’m sure there are male reporters in the locker room who don’t necessarily subscribe to Pat Beverley’s podcast,” Smith said. “Have you asked them if they are subscribers to your podcast? You refused to talk to them? So we have a situation where gender has been included and who knows what people will label it? I can’t believe Pat Beverley did this.”

The Bucks ultimately fell to the Pacers 120-98, and the game sealed the series loss for Milwaukee, 4-2, as Beverley’s frustration seemed to boil over in the locker room.

Regarding the ball-throwing incident, Rivers said: “He commented to me on what was said to him and I just said, ‘I understand, but we’re coaches and athletes and we’re entertainers’ or whatever we are. Sometimes (fans) can be wrong, but there are some things you just can’t do. And he knows it too.”
