Off the bench, Marcus Morris got the Celtics’ momentum going

A special guest joined Marcus Morris Sr. for his postgame press conference Sunday afternoon at TD Garden.

As Morris fielded questions about his 20-point performance against the Indiana Pacers, his 9-month old son — Marcus Morris Jr., affectionately known as “Benji’’ — sat atop his lap in a bite-sized No. 13 jersey.

The picture-perfect moment capped a successful Game 1 for the elder Morris, who scored 20 points in a postseason game for just the third time in his Celtics career. He also grabbed seven defensive rebounds en route to Boston’s 84-74 victory.
