I have no idea what has gotten into Karl-Anthony Towns lately. This is not the same player Jimmy Butler once said was as soft as baby [expletive].
One week he’s pantomiming looking for a breeze in the arena when Russell Westbrook shoots an airball. The next week he’s absolutely destroying Jae Crowder with one of the best dunks you’ll see all season.
Oh, you haven’t seen that one yet? Let me help you out here.
Towns was coming down the lane after beating his man off the dribble. Like the solid defender he is, Crowder stepped over to try and take the charge. But then, upon realizing who was coming down the lane, he bailed out at the last moment and tried to back away.
He couldn’t. Dunk. And-one. Embarrassment. That’s what happened after that. But what made matters worse there was Towns literally clapping in Crowder’s face after the poster. Like, he’s just rubbing it in on dude.
He’s literally telling everyone that he’s in Crowder’s head. It was incredible.

Just incredibly savage, man. Maybe watching those gorilla videos did actually help KAT out because, uh, he wasn’t like this before.
Crowder got the last laugh in the end because the Suns got the win. But all anyone is going to remember from this game is the Towns dunk and the moments that followed it.
People were so surprised.
