CJ McCollum coolly knocked down the go-ahead jumper with 10 seconds remaining and Pascal Siakam’s floater at the buzzer was just off as the Portland Trail Blazers held on late to secure a come from behind 112-111 win over the hungry Toronto Raptors at the Moda Center.
McCollum had a game-high 30 points, and Carmelo Anthony had his best and most impactful game of the season, scoring 10 of his 20 points in the final 5:16 to help will the Blazers to a victory they had no business taking. Anthony stuffed the stat sheet with 5 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, but most importantly, his clutch shooting was vital down the stretch.
