There is a whole world of identical twin related humor out there, ready to liven up this boring YouTube description. But I’m not going to use it. Markieff Morris is his own human being and deserves to be judged on his own merits. Marcus Morris had nothing to do with his brother’s 23 points (except for one assist).
I admit, when I first the saw the 23 points next to Markieff’s name, my thought was “Oh he must have made a bunch of threes, any scrub who can shoot from downtown can get hot eventually”. How wrong-headed I was. It turns out that he shot an amazing 11 of 13 from the field, with only one of those shots being a three. Rather than loaf around the perimeter he banged in the post and drove to the basket, while adding in a few mid-range J’s.
And now I have compiled highlights of his performance. Watch them. You will watch them.
