I hate to see that go to waste."Morant appeared to take another postgame dig at Thompson when he interrupted an on-court interview involving teammate Cam Spencer, who finished with 17 points off the bench on 6-of-10 shooting (3-of-5 from three)."Tell 'em who the best shooter in the house was," Morant appears to say on the broadcast.
