Bad correlation.  Booing occurred in first half.  Still ended with an eight point deficit.  They responded to the coaches who were yelling at them at halftime.

I understand it as well.  It's hard to hold back frustration.  Booing is a release and makes the fan feel better.

I doubt it helps the team however.  Very few teams do better at away games than home games. If fans had the discipline they demand from their players they would act in the two ways needed to support the team - show up at games no matter how good or bad their team is and cheer and never boo their team.

A few years back when the number 2 Georgia football team hosted the number 1 Alabama team the stadium was packed and noisy with expectations running high.  Alabama trounced Georgia.  The Georgia fans stood the entire game.  No one booed their team.  No one left until the game was over.  92,746 fans with easily 90% of them bulldogs.  That's an elite fanbase.

It's subjective if a player or team gives up in a game.  Booing on the other hand is a fanbase that is giving up on the team and that is not subjective.
