“Karl-Anthony Towns choked a 10 point 4Q lead and is sending his farewells to the crowd like he’s Kobe Bryant!”: NBA Twitter rips apart the Wolves’ star as Memphis clinch series

Karl-Anthony Towns gets trolled by NBA Twitter as the Minnesota Timberwolves get eliminated after blowing yet another 4th quarter lead 

The Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the Memphis Grizzlies last night for a win-or-go-home Game 6. The Grizzlies took a 3-2 lead at home, and hoped to wrap things up, and that is exactly what they did. The Timberwolves had played brilliantly throughout the series, barring the 4th quarters.

In this series, the Wolves have blown three double-digit leads in the 4th quarter. Their All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns failed to take over in the 4th and dominate the paint. With KAT lurking around the perimeter, the Grizzlies easily managed to get stops and make runs.

On the other hand, Karl-Anthony Towns had a mediocre series, and disappointed all with his 4th quarter antics.

NBA Twitter trolls Karl-Anthony Towns

Entering the game tonight, the Minnesota Timberwolves should have won the series 4-1 already. They had blown 2 games where they had a 10+ point lead entering the 4th. Many expected the Wolves to clean up their act tonight, however, that wasn’t the case.

Karl-Anthony Towns once again spent the 4th quarter on the perimeter and failed to knock down his shots. After the game, he was seen waving to the audience, which did not sit right with NBA Twitter, They decided to troll the big.
