The Washington Wizards beat the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, 112-108. The Warriors first lost Kevin Durant due to a knee sprain, then the game down the stretch as Washington’s Markieff Morris hit two big free throws with three seconds left.
It was a big win for the rising Wizards, who are looking to bolster their roster for a playoff run by adding Brandon Jennings. When asked after the game what he was thinking about when he went to the line, Morris responded with a surprising and candid answer.
Fair warning, NSFW language ahead.

Oooook.
Meanwhile, things in Warriorland are tense and will be until we get the results of Durant’s MRI.
Somber Warriors locker room tonight, and not because of the loss. It's going to be a long wait to find out the results of Durant's MRI.
