Marcus Morris - 5/10
Stat line: 9 points, 5 rebounds on 2-8 FG's and -23
Again, as an individual, there was nothing Morris did dramatically wrong other than missing 6 of his 8 field goal attempts. The Celtics' as a whole got completely outplayed by the Cavaliers and if they share the credit when they win, they should share the blame when they lose.

Unlike Games 1 & 2, there was no trademark Morris on LeBron possession that could be replayed for the highlights section of Sportscenter. So no defense and no real substantial offense for Morris in Game 3.
This holds true for every player on the Celtics on Saturday - nobody played bad but they played very poorly as a team and when their strength is playing together, their margin for error is far lesser. Thus even a few bad decisions here and there could have cost the team the game.
