Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks got blown out by the Utah Jazz last night at home by a final score of 132-116.
Fans in attendance were not happy with the Bucks, who got booed on their home floor. After the game, Antetokounmpo talked about getting booed at home.
“At the end of the day, you gotta play hard,” Antetokounmpo said. “I don’t think it’s about making or missing shots. It’s about giving effort out there, and when you don’t, I think people feel that. When you wear a Bucks jersey and you don’t play hard — not just Bucks jerseys, any jersey — I think we have great fans. But around the league, if you don’t play hard and don’t give everything for the team, there are times where you might get booed. S—, I’d boo myself tonight too.”
The Bucks are 25-12 on the season. They are in second place in the Eastern Conference standings. However, Milwaukee is only 1-5 in its last four games.
