When the Bucks traded for Patrick Beverley at the NBA trade deadline, it gave them an injection of life on the defensive end of the floor.
Although there were concerns about how Beverley might fit alongside Damian Lillard after their previous on-court beef, it seems Milwaukee is starting to figure it out under head coach Doc Rivers.
Despite trailing by as many as 15 points during a game in which both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton sat out against the Clippers on Monday night, the Bucks mounted a massive comeback.
Beverley and Milwaukee teammate Bobby Portis played an integral role in energizing the crowd:
Portis, like Beverley, is known for injecting a bit of life and energy to his team both on and off the court.
With the two of them on the floor at the same time, Milwaukee legitimately has a home-court advantage that could help them during the postseason.
