“Last game, I felt like I didn’t effect at all and it’s not even just making shots,” Morris said. “I just felt like I didn’t do anything. I felt like I didn’t rebound the ball. I felt like I could be a little more aggressive. I feel like this is the best series for me to play a lot of minutes, and I fit the small-ball mode for this team.” Though Morris scored just two points in the second half, his driving layup off a pass from Rajon Rondo tied the score at 94-94, putting the Lakers in a situation in which they never lost the lead again. “Markieff was spectacular off the bench, giving us that instant offense with just his grit,” LeBron James said on a videoconference with reporters after the game. “We love having him on the floor. But he was unbelievable for us in that (first) quarter.”
