The NBA released the official height and weight of all its players. The Celtics ranked as the second shortest, seventh youngest, and least experienced team in the league. In the off-season, the Knicks loaded up on power forwards signing veteran bigs like Taj Gibson, Bobby Portis, Julius Randle, and old friend Marcus Morris.
On Friday night, that advantage in size and experience didn’t matter.
After Marcus Morris (who hit a ton of big shots when he was with the Celtics) tied the game on a 3, Jayson Tatum (who Morris took under his wing when Tatum was a rookie) answered with a game winner.
