Marcus Morris' big night

The Boston Celtics' 101-95 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder was much-needed and showed us a bit more about the identity of this revamped C's squad. One player that really stuck out was Marcus Morris, scoring 21 points with 19 coming in the second half.

In addition to his scoring, Morris also managed to come down with 10 boards, giving him his first 20-10 game since 11/14/17.

Despite a poor shooting first half, Marcus managed to pick it up in the second, going 5 of 6 from the field, 4 of 5 from three. In his second half success, he was able to enjoy a plus/minus of +18.

Boston has expected a lot of production from their bench since last seasons' depth troubles. Mook is one of the most important pieces of this bench, a go-to scorer as well as a solid defender. As the season progresses, we will see more big games from the former Jayhawk as the Celts experiment more with lineups and things of that nature.
