Karl-Anthony Towns' crying face in exchange with Scott Foster gets captured on video and fans are in splits over it

With just 1:38 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Karl-Anthony Towns fouled out after jumping onto Luka Doncic's pump fake. In a pivotal moment of Tuesday night's Game 4 in the Western Conference finals, several NBA fans couldn't resist but notice the four-time All-Star for his reaction upon being handed a sixth foul by league official Scott Foster.

Before exiting, the Minnesota Timberwolves star was a crucial piece in the team's seven-point lead. He knocked down three straight makes from beyond the arc to stir some much-needed momentum in the Timberwolves' way as Minnesota extended the series with a 105-100 victory.

Despite KAT's impressive 25-point performance on the road, some fans were still in splits about his reaction to receiving his sixth foul of the game.

"KAT's cry face is hilarious. He be like papito please I no foul."

X user tony g (@txnyg) had no complaints with the explanation done by the post.

"Lmfao. This is the greatest way I've ever seen to explain it lol," the fan posted.

Meanwhile, X user We have enough (@hes_got_hill) had some second thoughts in mocking Karl-Anthony Towns but couldn't deny the comedic material presented.

"I could never initiate making fun of KAT ... he's been through a lot in his life. But this s*** funny though," the fan posted.

X user I Darrisaw That (@schlooie) argued the validity of the foul handed to Towns.

"He wasn't wrong though," the fan posted.

X user Paco Yott (@PacoYott), on the other hand, found Karl-Anthony Towns' reaction hilarious but was left puzzled about the basis of the foul called.

"It's hilarious but he has a legit gripe, didn't the NBA ban that lean into the defender move? Why did Luka get that call?" the fan questioned.

This isn't the first time that some NBA fans found a Towns' moment on the court hilarious, whether intentional or not.


Karl-Anthony Towns gets mocked by Timberwolves teammate after huge Game 4 win

Following the 105-100 Game 4 victory, Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns attended the postgame interviews together. Edwards had some jokes for his teammate regarding his fouled-out situation.

"You fouled out? ... I will beat him up in the bus, ya'll," Edwards said.

Towns made some of the biggest shots of the game while his partner, "Ant-Man," showed up in a huge way in the clutch when his star center went to the bench with six fouls.

Edwards converted two straight midrange shots to ice the game and send the series back to Minnesota for Game 5.

The Timberwolves two stars will need to replicate the same level of production and dial it up further to get a Game 6 in Dallas.
