Teammates Marcus Morris and Jaylen Brown say they have moved on from their minor altercation that occurred during the second quarter of Thursday’s 115-99 loss to the Miami Heat.
“When you’re as competitive as we both are, tempers can get hot,” Morris told reporters during shootaround in Orlando Saturday. “That’s all it was.”
Morris and Brown had to be separated by Marcus Smart after a heated exchange that culminated in Morris shoving Brown. According the play-by-play, the incident occurred after Brown failed to get back on defense following two missed shots in a bungled 3-on-2 offensive opportunity.
