M.V.P.
Markieff Morris added another skill to his resume against the New York Knicks: defensive stopper.
Carmelo Anthony had 14 points at halftime and was on his way to his usual 30-point effort versus Washington when Randy Wittman switched Morris onto him. Carmelo made only two of nine shots for the remainder of the game. Morris said after the game that he had never covered Carmelo at any point in his five-year NBA career but was not intimidated.
