Cavs forward Marcus Morris Sr. is no stranger to a scrap, and Cleveland could use that experience during Game 6 in Orlando.CLEVELAND, Ohio — Refs blew their whistles, players restrained their teammates and, per usual, Marcus Morris Sr. smiled amid the wreckage.
Ironically, Morris’s irritability might be his best ability ahead of Friday’s Game 6 in Orlando on Friday night. Cleveland would love to see Morris score 12 more points off the bench and hit two more massive fourth-quarter 3-pointers, as he did during Game 5. Short of that, however, the Cavs hope his gruff presence alone can help them stand their ground against a frisky, if not fight-happy, Magic team.
after Suggs fouled Garland, then bumped Garland after the whistle, then traded words with Garland before both players returned to their respective corners. Maybe it’s a coincidence that the Magic went on a 20-3 run right after that moment, or maybe Morris could’ve helped the Cavs if they let him moderate Orlando’s trash talk before the game spilled into garbage time.
It might change the Magic’s attitude, too. When Bickerstaff mentioned “how opponents react to ,” the coach means that opponents don’t test the old man. At 34, Morris has played in enough games that his reputation precedes him. His greatest hits suggest that the Magic’s game-muckers should tread carefully. And his on-court presence gives teammates more cachet in a scrap.
