Utah Jazz forward Jae Crowder became part of a lot of headlines recently when he received a shot from Minnesota Timberwolves swingman Jimmy Butler. It can be recalled that Crowder stood up for his teammate, Ricky Rubio, after getting hit by Jeff Teague during their teams' matchup on Friday, and Butler then took to his Twitter account to send a fiery message to him. With the Jazz playing the second game of their back-to-back set on Saturday, the Sacramento Kings made sure they had some fun with the two players' Twitter beef.
Using Crowder's response to Butler on Twitter, the Kings' social media team posted a hilarious message, referencing to his reply. They used it as a caption in the video they shared where Skal Labissiere blocked his layup attempt.

The Kings are not having a lot of success this season. They only have a 19-44 record to show, and will most likely be headed to the lottery, but that won't stop them from having some fun, particularly on their social media activity. It also brings some laughs to their fans, which could help them forget the number of losses their team has had so far.
For what it's worth, Crowder and the Jazz had the last laugh on the night, as they came out with another victory, 98-91. Crowder had another solid outing, as he recorded 14 points and four rebounds, which complemented the game of Donovan Mitchell who top-scored with 27 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Despite still sitting at 10th place in the West, the Jazz are only two games out of eighth place and are making a strong run for the playoffs.
