East Conf. Finals Game 5 - Cleveland Cavaliers 83-96 Boston Celtics: Celtics' Player Ratings  

Marcus Morris - 7.5/10

Morris guards Jordan Clarkson in transition

Stat line: 13 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, 5-of-13 from the field, 3-of-6 on threes

Mook came off the bench for the first time this series, and he was an important factor in Boston's victory as he played 37 minutes. Majorly guarding LeBron James on the defensive end, he was also quick to get back in transition, and he also defended the likes of Kevin Love and Kyle Korver quite effctively. LeBron got his share of points on Morris, but he had to earn some of them from the free throw line as Morris refused to make it easy for him.

The younger Morris twin started off hot from the field, knocking down his first three 3-pointers of the game and enabling Boston not only to take a first-quarter lead, but to restore it in the 2nd quarter after Cleveland cut the lead early in the period.

Morris hoisted some ill-advised mid-range jumpers on isolation, however, and he would do well to pick his spots and shoot in the right situation.
