Allonzo Trier sliding into a fan’s direct messages on Twitter on Wednesday night has the Knicks rookie in hot water.
After a 114-110 loss to the Rockets, Trier tried to defend himself for not having better coverage on Eric Gordon, who hit the game-winning 3. James Harden set a pick on Trier, who slipped underneath, while Tim Hardaway Jr. stayed tight on Harden. That left Gordon open to swish the game-winner with 9.8 seconds left.
“It was supposed to be a switch dumb ass you think i just let n—a walk up and shoot a 3 smh y’all ‘fans’ don’t think,” Trier wrote in a direct message to a fan, who then took a screenshot and tweeted it out to the public.
