Blazers' C.J. McCollum and Damian Lillard combine for 63 in loss
Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum scored a team-high 32 points during a 119-113 Game 3 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday, adding six rebounds, two steals and six 3-pointers in 39 minutes.
What It Means:
Point guard Damian Lillard was right behind C.J. with 31 points in 39 minutes. It seemed like Dame and C.J. would win it for the Blazers with a 17-point lead in the second half, but a Warriors outburst in the third quarter was just too much to overcome. Maybe the Blazers can extend this series on Monday, but blowing a 3-0 series lead would be a shocking outcome for the Warriors.
Lillard's 12.81 nERD led the team per numberFire Live, and McCollum's 6.20 was second-best. Efficiency was their undoing in this one, as both were an identical 10-for-23 shooting last night.
