Clearly, Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers heard what Tyrese Haliburton had to say about the Indiana Pacers home crowd. The All-Star point guard compared the fans at Inidana’s Gainbridge Fieldhouse to the Bucks faithful that attend games at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum, and unsurprisingly, Haliburton has a certain bias toward his own supporters.
Rivers respects the statement from Haliburton, but the tenured coach just had to make sure that the Pacers star knew what the real score was amidst the frenzy in Game 5 in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee Bucks News: Doc Rivers Claps Back at Tyrese Haliburton
Coach Doc was mic’d up during the Bucks’ unexpected blowout win over the Pacers on Tuesday night. This gave all of us an opportunity to witness a moment between the tenured coach and Haliburton as the latter was waiting to check back into the game.
The Bucks coach walked up to Haliburton on the scorer’s table to tell the Pacers guard how he feels the Milwaukee home support compares to that of Indiana:

I’m guessing Rivers even had to repeat himself because of all the noise inside the Fiserv Forum at that point in the game.
For his part, all Haliburton could do was nod as he acknowledged the statement from the one-time NBA champion coach. Perhaps the 24-year-old realized that what Rivers was saying was actually true.
The good news for Haliburton and Pacers fans is that Game 6 on Thursday shifts back to Indianapolis. The supporters will have an opportunity to show just how loud they can get at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse as their Pacers look to end Milwaukee’s season in Game 6.
