That goes for this series and beyond. Just after halftime in Game 4, the Cavaliers made a point of getting Evan Mobley the ball and going at Poeltl. They got two easy buckets. Collin Murray-Boyles came in shortly after and changed the dynamic. Mobley was barely heard from again, scoring just two points after Murray-Boyles replaced Poeltl midway through the quarter. (The bucket, again, came when the Cavs attacked Poeltl.) According to NBA.com’s matchup data, the Cavaliers have scored just 48 points in 70 possessions when the rookie has guarded Mobley in the series. With Barnes needed to slow down Harden, Murray-Boyles has been massive in that sense.
