“You Ran Your Mouth and Hid Behind a Ref”: NBA World Tears “Lil Fella” Trae Young to Shreds after Beef with Rockets Stars Takes to Social Media

On a night that featured 28 teams in action, the game that stood out was the intense matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and Houston Rockets. Coming into the game, the Rockets were heavy underdogs on the back of having the worst record in the Western Conference. However, the game last night witnessed a shocking upset at the hands of the Rockets after a skirmish in the third quarter that fueled a rally.

The Trae Young and Dejounte Murray combo of Atlanta Hawks paved the way for the Hawks last night, at least for the first three quarters. Midway through the third quarter, with a sizeable lead in their hand, Young and Co committed a major blunder that flipped the game on its head. Moreover, Young took to social media to justify his actions, only to meet with harsh criticism from fans.

After the game, players took to social media to address the incident. Kevin Porter Jr. trolled Young by calling him a ‘lil fella.’ On the other hand, Young compared Rockets players to ‘fools’ in an analogy. Here are some of the fan reactions to Young’s comments on Twitter:
