The Chicago Bulls evened up the series as they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks. Going on the road, Game 2 was an offensive display. Both DeRozan and Giannis Antetokounmpo put on a masterclass as they went head to head. However, the Greek Freak’s efforts didn’t prove enough. But fans found another sports star to pin the blame on.

Game 1 of this Eastern Conference first-round saw both teams struggle to put up points. Milwaukee was able to defend their home court taking a much-needed advantage. But DeRozan was determined to bounce back from his poor show. Checking in to Game 2, the Bulls stole the game in the Bucks’ home arena.

But for fans, they resorted to giving NFL star quarterback, Aaron Rodgers unnecessary hate for the loss. The Packers man came in to support the Bucks, but the love was not reciprocated.
