After the game, the Greek Freak let everybody know things are not heading in the right direction for the Bucks.

"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," Antetokounmpo asserted. "Every single thing, everybody has to be better.

"It starts from the equipment manager -- he has to wash our clothes better," Giannis added. "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 a better strategy, we have to be better. We have four months to get better, so we'll see."

Despite Antetokounmpo's impressive performance with 48 points on 16-of-25 shooting and 17 rebounds, the Bucks suffered their third loss in four games to kick off 2024, following an 11-2 record in December.
