Wizards' Markieff Morris: Morris shines with 21 in win

Morris posted 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 32 minutes in Thursday's 111-98 win over the Pacers.

Analysis:

Morris was aggressive on the boards Thursday and tied with Martin Gortat for a team-leading seven rebounds. While he's not known for the long jumper, he went 3-for-4 from beyond the arc against a Pacers team that ranks 25th against defending threes. That stat held water Thursday as Indiana yielded 15 triples to the Wizards in a game where they trailed from the tip-off. Morris' reliability has been integral to the Wizards' winning ways over the past month and can be equally dependable with impressive stat lines in Washington's fast-paced offense.
