The Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies went head-to-head in Portland on Friday night. The teams went back and forth all night long exchanging leads, but the Trail Blazers ended up escaping with a 112-109 victory despite letting an 18-point lead slip away during the game.
At one point in the game, Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons attempted a three-point shot but came up a little short. The Trail Blazers’ social team took note of this, and decided to poke some fun at Parsons on Twitter.
The 28-year-old ended up coming across the tweet later on after the game, and fired right back at the Blazers.
The Blazers’ account didn’t end up responding to Parsons, but Blazers guard C.J. McCollum stepped up instead and fired some shots right back at Parsons.
This has to be the funniest response by any player during a Twitter fight. Even Damian Lillard seems to agree.
Parsons wasn’t done, though, and responded to McCollum.
Parsons was right about one thing, he certainly did hit the lottery as the Grizzlies will be paying him a max deal worth a projected $94.8 million over the next four years. However, Portland’s win put them half a game out of a playoff spot, so Parsons should probably take a look at the standings every now and then.
