Marcus Morris having a ‘tough time’ after Clippers loss to Nuggets
Marcus Morris can’t get a grip on dropping series against Nuggets.
The Clippers saw a comfortable 3-1 lead fall from their reach at the hands of the Nuggets in of the Western Conference semifinals. Rather than seal the series with a victory, Denver rallied with three straight wins to take the series 4-3 over Los Angeles.
Forward Marcus Morris couldn’t put the pieces together on what led to the team’s downhill fall.
“Honestly, I can’t put my finger on it,” said Morris. “Can’t take nothing from them (Nuggets). Guys played hard, played to the wire. Every game down and above they kept the same attitude.”
Morris didn’t have his best night on the court either, scoring only 7 points. He shot 2-of-9 from the field, and just 1-of-6 from the 3-point line.
With a 104-89 victory in Game 7, the Nuggets advanced to meet the Lakers Friday in the Western Conference finals. In a rare occurrence in NBA history, the shocking rally was difficult to process for a visibly fazed Morris.
“It’s definitely the toughest time I’ve had in the NBA,” said the 31-year-old Morris. “It’s unfortunate, but…. I can’t put the words around this. I don’t even know what words to use right now.”
