Marcus Morris takes parting shot at Hawks' Millsap for brother Markieff

Marcus Morris, the twin brother of Washington Wizards forward Markieff Morris, just couldn't leave well enough alone.

The heat between Markieff and Atlanta Hawks All-Star Paul Millsap was one of the bigger talking points of the Wizards-Hawks series, which ended in Game 6 Friday night after Washington defeated Atlanta by 16 at Philips Arena.

Marcus has already taken to social media once to offer his two cents on the matchup, tweeting out how the Hawks' "whining" led to an abundance of foul calls early on in Game 2.

With Atlanta now out of the playoffs entirely, Marcus took a giant parting shot at Millsap, referencing comments made earlier in the series.

Millsap accused Washington of playing "MMA-style" basketball in Game 1, with Markieff responding by calling out his adversary for being a "crybaby."

While Markieff was certainly no slouch in Washington's win Friday (17 points and eight rebounds in 39 minutes), Millsap was vastly superior across the board, with a line of 31 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, four steals, and a block while sitting for all of two minutes.

Nonetheless, it's the Wizards moving on to the Eastern Conference semifinals and not the Hawks, with Game 1 against the Boston Celtics going down Sunday at TD Garden.
