CJ McCollum’s shot at the buzzer was no good, and the Portland Trail Blazers’ improved effort against the Los Angeles Clippers was spoiled as a result. At the final whistle, it was the Clippers who were on the right side of a 113-112 heartbreaker.
The Blazers were missing Damian Lillard for the third straight game along with Jusuf Nurkic, but even so, they looked to be in a good position to pull off the upset until the final seconds.
McCollum led the way for Portland with 28 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
