Marcus Morris Sr. had a slow start to the postseason. He shot 5-of-17 from the field in the first two games, both losses, making 2-of-11 threes, and he wasn’t really impacting the game in other ways. Game 3 was off to a similar start, as Morris made 1-of-3 shots in 17 minutes, and the Clippers were outscored by 11 with him on the court.
Fortunately, Morris got a lifeline at halftime. His twin brother Markieff called him during the break, reminded him he was the best shooter in the world, and told him to let if fly. The Clipper forward ended up making 5-of-6 shots in the second half including all three 3-pointers.
