Marcus Morris on what could have sparked Larry Nance Jr.’s shove: ‘I definitely can’t say that on the camera’

Celtics forward Marcus Morris and Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. had to be separated during the second quarter of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday night.

Nance was attempting to field an alley-oop pass from LeBron James, when Morris came from behind to break up the play and tip the ball out of bounds. The defensive move sent Nance crashing to the floor, where Morris stood over him and appeared to say something. His words seemingly sparked a fury in Nance, who got up and shoved Morris as he was walking away.
