Monte Morris

PG, Denver Nuggets

Monte Morris saw 28 minutes off the bench in Saturday's Game 5 loss to the Lakers, rising to the occasion for 10 points (4-of-9 shooting), two rebounds and seven assists.

Morris served as an extra capable ball-handler and passer as Jamal Murray was playing hobbled by his right knee contusion. Morris soaked up extra minutes as coach Mike Malone benched an ineffectual Gary Harris, who had three points on 1-of-4 shooting with one triple, two rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes.
