"Murray-Boyles, ever the hero, kept grabbing offensive rebounds, kept providing the churn to allow the Raptors to keep inch-worming their way back into things. After Murray-Boyles grabbed what seemed like his 25th offensive rebound, he spit the ball back up court and into the waiting hands of Ingram, who hit a triple to bring the game to 84-82."
