"Giannis Antetokounmpo is having a bad time. Tuesday night he opened the second half of a home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a baseline spin into a tough contested layup over Julius Randle, and finished the play on the ground. Antetokounmpo, seated beneath the basket, formed up the double-thumbs-down gesture, raised it up over his head, and booed loudly."
"It is either sweet or sort of shameful that there was anyone around in the second half for Antetokounmpo to boo. After his and-one basket, the home team was down on the scoreboard by 29 points to a Timberwolves squad playing without both Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards, who'd sat out the game due to a suspension and an injury, respectively."
Giannis Antetokounmpo opened the second half with a baseline spin and contested layup, finished on the ground, then sat beneath the basket and booed loudly at the fans. He returned a previous wave of boos from Milwaukee, saying, "Whenever I get booed, I boo back. It won't change home or away." The Bucks trailed by 29 after his and-one and were down 31 at halftime, tied for the largest halftime deficit this season. Milwaukee scored 45 first-half points, committed nine turnovers, and allowed the Timberwolves to shoot 67 percent with 13 made threes.
