MARCUS MORRIS
His ability to score, defend and rebound all came into play for the Boston Celtics. Morris finished with a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds, the kind of performance that they’ll need more of going forward.
TOBIAS HARRIS
One of the Clippers new guys, Harris’ two-man game with Jordan put the Celtics defense in a bad spot most of the game. Harris was one of seven – yes, seven – double-figure scorers for Los Angeles, tallying 21 points on 8-for-1 shooting to go with eight rebounds, five assists and a steal.
DANILO GALLINARI
He didn’t shoot the ball particularly well (4-for-11), but Gallinari’s impact was undeniable. He had 20 points, most of which came from the free throw line (10-for-10).
