They've got to love the 3 steals and the 6 boards--impressive for 17 minutes--which no doubt let to some Raptor baskets

Excerpt from the ESPN story on the 30-point comeback win:
Teams trailing by 20 or more points entering the fourth quarter were 3-1,667 (.002) over the past decade before Toronto's comeback. It was perhaps even more improbable because the Raptors were missing three key players: star forward Pascal Siakam (groin), center Marc Gasol (hamstring) and shooting guard Norman Powell (shoulder).
But point guard Kyle Lowry and a cast of reserves -- Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Chris Boucher, Terence Davis and Malcolm Miller -- bucked the odds. The Raptors' press rattled the Mavs, who were missing superstar point guard Luka Doncic due to a sprained right ankle, and Lowry took over the game, scoring 20 of his game-high 32 points in the fourth quarter.
"We all know that we have to step up, and it's easier when you have somebody like Kyle that's been there for years and always has a way to tell us what to do or what he needs from us," said Boucher, who scored 12 of his career-high 21 points in the fourth quarter and also finished with seven rebounds, four blocks and two steals. "He was exceptional today with all the plays that he made and all the shots that he hit. A lot of people have been hard on him this year. We always had confidence in him and always knew he would lead us someway, somehow."
Lowry, however, insisted that the unheralded reserves' energy was the primary reason the Raptors pulled off the comeback.
"We had a great team effort," said Lowry, who also had eight rebounds and 10 assists while playing 42 minutes, including the entire fourth quarter. "Malcolm, Terence Davis, Rondae and Chris Boucher, I give them all the credit today. They won that game for us. ... Give those guys the credit, man, seriously."

Lots of Raptors fans mad about McCaw getting more minutes than Malcolm.

Besides, it doesn't apply here. These are not games being played before a season. The NBA is in the middle of a season.

MM played 11 minutes last night, the most since the bubble games began. No shots, 1 rebound, 1 block, a +6 in the Raptors’ 4 point win. So it was not garbage time. The +6 was the fourth best, better than all the starters.

The +6 was the fourth best, better than all the starters. Every time there's a new entry in the Malcolm thread I worry it will say he has been cut or sent down. But it never does. The kid has grit and obviously he is working hard in practice and perfecting the little things that contribute to a +6. Plus, once you are in the bubble this year no one wants to complicate matters by messing with the roster.

I seldom watch NBA games, but just happened to tune in last night for the last 3 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised to see Malcolm in the game during crunch time. Unfortunately, he didn't do much to get a mention from the announcers. Hopefully, his playing time will increase.

That game meant nothing for either team. That was the reason deep subs were in at the end

It was nice to see Malcolm on the floor was an extended time. This was the first time this year that I watched an NBA game for more than 2 minutes.
Keep up the hard work and effort Malcolm, you deserve the time on the court. My Family is very happy you have excelled.
