SAN FRANCISCO — The locker room was cleared and his Knicks teammates already were on the bus late Wednesday night when Marcus Morris finally was out of the shower and dressed, ready to head out into the night after doing all he could to get the Knicks their first win in more than three weeks.
He had missed a free throw in the final seconds of overtime, all that stood between his performance and matching his career high, finishing with 36 points as the Knicks survived a nightmarish collapse in a battle of the two worst teams in the NBA this season, beating the Golden State Warriors, 124-122.
