After the victory against the Rockets, he tweeted in dismay as to the loss against the Atlanta Hawks on February 3rd. Had Booker’s side won against the Hawks, the winning streak would have turned into a massive 19 game run.
Although this did not stop the fans from having some fun trolling the recently concluded narrow win against the struggling Rockets.
