The Milwaukee Bucks endured another difficult setback after falling 139 106 to the Minnesota Timberwolves, continuing a worrying run of form.
Halftime arrived with the Bucks trailing 76 45 and the home crowd responded with loud boos aimed at the teams performance.
Giannis Antetokounmpo later reacted with his own boos toward the crowd after scoring through contact early in the third quarter.
The star forward addressed the incident following the game and emphasized that his response matched the energy coming from the stands.
Reporters heard him underline that fans are free to express themselves but he considers his reactions equally valid.
Antetokounmpo added that this type of interaction has been part of his season and pointed to his long tenure in Milwaukee spanning 13 years.
The franchise cornerstone also noted that he leads the team across every major category and remains committed despite the current struggles.
