Featuring All-Stars Damian Lillard and Luka Doncic, tonight’s matchup between the Portland Trail Blazers and Dallas Mavericks was expected to light up the scoreboard like a Christmas tree on the Fourth of July. It lived up to its billing, too. The teams combined for 240 points, 50% shooting from the floor, and 45% shooting from the arc. When it was all said and done, though, neither Lillard nor Doncic would become the player of the game. A resurgent CJ McCollum gave Portland 32 points, including 7-13 shooting from the arc, to give his team a 125-119 victory.
