Marcus Morris Sr. and his season-high 31 points bludgeoned the Pelicans into a pulp while Robert ‘Timelord’ Williams III blocked Anthony ‘tired of scoring 40+ and losing’ Davis twice in a quality homecourt win. Final score: Celtics 113 – Pelicans 110.
The Hospital Celtics are back, baby. That means aggressively shooting contested shots (and making them), sharp cuts to the basket, and Marcus Morris not giving a god damn who stands in his way.
Morris and company were not bashful in attacking mismatches early and often. So we’re clear, any Pelicans player not named Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday were guarding at a disadvantage on nearly every defensive trip.
