In his postgame interview, Morant spoke about what it was like playing in his first game back from suspension.
“I’m a dog, I put work in day out, I’ve been putting work in, I haven’t played a game in eight months, had a lot of time to learn my life, a lot of hard days that I went through it but basketball is my life, it’s what I love it’s therapeutic, I’m just excited to be back.”
Morant also explained the final play of the game.
“Call 12… that’s the play I wanted to run right there, they believed in me…I actually wanted to go to “Trip” in the post but they told me no, so I had to deliver for ’em”
