Markieff Morris on clutch FTs: 'I put my nuts on the line'

Sam Sharpe / USA TODAY Sports

Markieff Morris came up clutch, and he credits deez nuts.

Up two points late against the Golden State Warriors, the Washington Wizards power forward went to the line for a pair. Morris, a career 76.9 percent free-throw shooter, sank both foul shots to give his club a two-possession lead.

The Wiz held on to sink the league's best team, 112-108, with Morris chipping in 22 points, six boards, and four blocks. Asked about icing the win, the 27-year-old jokingly offered the following:

"My wife tells me all the time I've got big nuts. I put my nuts on the line for the team and we did it."

Got em.
