Tuesday night’s game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the San Antonio Spurs was just another regular-season game. However, it just somehow didn’t feel like your typical mid-December contest.
At one point in the contest, tempers flared as Bobby Portis got into it with Spurs guard/forward Jeremy Sochan. The pair had to be separated as things got physical between them.
