Blazers guard C.J. McCollum had a huge game, scoring 33 points and 9 rebounds to help the Blazers come back from an early 17-point deficit. McCollum finished with 33 points on 17-29 shooting and 9 rebounds, helping the Blazers overcome a 17-point deficit to get a shot at the NBA Finals just one year after being swept out of the first round.
After the game, McCollum even evoked a Jordan-like attitude in an interview with ESPN's Doris Burke. Asked about his final shot, he said he told Blazers coach Terry Stotts to give him the ball.
