- Milwaukee was booed off at halftime down 76–45, and Giannis Antetokounmpo responded early in the third quarter by booing back and flashing a thumbs-down after an and-1.
- The 139–106 home loss came against Minnesota without Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert, underscoring the Bucks’ slide to 17–23.
- Antetokounmpo finished with 25 points, eight rebounds and five assists, acknowledged low effort, and said the team must play harder and for each other.
