"So, after Giannis Antetokounmpo scored the first basket of the third quarter, a layup over Wolves forward Julius Randle followed by a foul that knocked Antetokounmpo to the ground, the Bucks two-time MVP responded in kind: gesturing with two thumbs down and booing the Milwaukee crowd as he sat on the court underneath the basket. Antetokounmpo said after the 139-106 loss that it was the first time he can remember being booed at his home arena."
""Whenever I get booed, I boo back," Antetokounmpo said after scoring 25 points on 9-of-13 shooting. The double thumbs down gesture is the same one Antetokounmpo has responded to fans with several times on the road this season, most notably after his game-winner against the Pacers in Indiana in October and most recently after his windmill dunk left an exclamation point over a win vs. the Chicago Bulls."
