The Trail Blazers secured a 120-111 win over the Atlanta Hawks Saturday despite missing Damian Lillard. One of the brightest spots in Portland’s victory over Atlanta was CJ McCollum’s triple-double. He led the way for the Blazers with 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. In the post-game press conference, coach Terry Stotts spoke about how the team stepped up without their on-court leader, Lillard, who did not play due to knee soreness.
Here is the video from Stotts’ press conference.
