Overview
- Milwaukee lost 139-106 to Minnesota at Fiserv Forum, trailing 76-45 at halftime against a Timberwolves team missing Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert.
- After an and‑one early in the third quarter, Antetokounmpo gave a double thumbs‑down and booed back, later saying, “Whenever I get booed, I boo back.”
- Antetokounmpo called the boos “not fair” but emphasized accountability, saying the Bucks must “play harder” and “play selfless basketball,” and dismissed “dead legs” as an excuse.
- He finished with 25 points, eight rebounds and five assists (with seven turnovers reported), as Milwaukee fell to 11th in the East and six games under .500.
- The public exchange intensified existing roster questions, with reporting pointing to trade‑deadline talk and limited draft assets even as Antetokounmpo has denied requesting a trade.
