Jarrett Allen absent, Marcus Morris had playing time, coming off the bench, in Game 5 against Orlando. And, as the staff had asked him to be, he was “ready” to be useful. For his 70th career playoff game, he scored 12 points in 26 minutes.
Above all, the 34-year-old interior scored two winning baskets in the last quarter, before Evan Mobley’s decisive counter. “I knew I could help in some way”, he confides.
His coach had no doubts about it, after accepting his signing on March 18. “We know what he is capable of. We can trust him. He has experienced these battles before. He’s tough, he’s not afraid of anything.”, explains JB Bickerstaff. “He had courage for that shot in the corner. He has seen almost everything in this league. »
He came for these spring battles
His teammates also had little doubt about the qualities of the veteran, who played for the Clippers or the Celtics. “He always brings this toughness, baskets, mid-distance shots. He is known for that. He scored an important winning basket in the corner. It was really huge”assure Darius Garland.
“It’s nice to see he’s doing that for my team, because he had me a few times at Utah.”remembers Donovan Mitchell who crossed paths with Marcus Morris in the 2021 playoffs.
The interior, who played for the Clippers, then averaged 13.2 points in the series won by Los Angeles. “That’s why we brought him here,” concludes and rejoices the rear.
