PORTLAND -- “I’m going at everybody, every night,” said Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum after Saturday night’s win. “I don’t really care who we’re playing.”
That may very well be true, but the 6-4 guard out of Lehigh’s performance was especially timely considering the quality of the opponent.
McCollum put up 15 points in the third quarter and 28 points overall to lead the Trail Blazers to a 134-105 rout of the Phoenix Suns, the defending Western Conference champs, in front of a crowd of 18,558 Saturday night at Moda Center.
“That was an incredible win for us today,” said Chauncey Billips of his first victory of his head coaching career.
