The Utah Jazz achieved an impressive 132-116 victory against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday evening.
The Jazz had a 33-point lead in the first half and went into halftime with a score of 77-46, which resulted in the Bucks being booed by their home crowd.
“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,” Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo said after the game. “Shit, I’d boo myself tonight too.”
While this win marked the 11th victory for the Jazz in their last 15 games, the Bucks have now lost four out of their last five games.
After the game, the Utah Jazz celebrated their victory by hilarious trolling Giannis Antetokounmpo. On Twitter, the team posted a short video of their equipment manager, Adam Klauke, who was smiling over the W.

While speaking about the team’s recent struggles after the Bucks’ loss agains the Rockets on Sunday, Antetokounmpo implored every single person in the Bucks organization to simply be better. This included their equipment manager.
Per The Athletic:
“We have to be better. We have to play better. We have to defend better. We have to trust one another better. We have to be coached better. Every single thing, everybody has to be better. Everybody. It starts from the equipment manager. He has to wash our clothes better. The bench has to be better. The leaders of the team have to be more vocal. We have to make more shots. We have to defend better. We have to have better strategy. We have to be better.”
