"CMB stepped into the starting center role, playing just over 31 minutes. In this key role, CMB put up the following stats: 17 points, just shy of his 19-point career high, on 8-for-10 shooting, along with seven rebounds, seven assists (a new career high), three steals, two blocks, and a team-high plus/minus of +24. CMB was also able to put up such a stat line without committing any turnovers."
"It gets to a fault, sometimes, of me just using my body and not really giving up any ground most of the time. And that's just how it is. And I just have to adjust to and then adapt. But no, it's not, I'm not thinking of it as like, "Oh, it's going to get easier." It's definitely not going to get easier (smiles)."
The Toronto Raptors closed a five-game homestand 4-1 with a 118-100 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. With Jakob Poeltl sidelined but cleared for contact, rookie Collin Murray-Boyles started at center and played just over 31 minutes. Murray-Boyles scored 17 points on 8-for-10 shooting, grabbed seven rebounds, dished seven assists (a new career high), recorded three steals and two blocks, posted a team-high plus/minus of +24, and committed no turnovers. The 20-year-old displayed physical play, adaptability, and developing court awareness and acknowledged the need to adjust and adapt rather than expect things to get easier.
