Notes On The Portland Trail Blazers For Game 6

Damian Lillard had 55 points in Game 5, 12 of those points were 3 pointers. He may have run out of gas at the end.

Lillard didn’t try to make a shot for 3 minutes. He was not making a lot of points in the last few minutes.

“It’s a shame that we wasted one of the best performances,” CJ McCollum told the Portland Oregonian. “I specifically have to be better for this team and for him.”

Lillard’s teammates have helped him. Portland won Game 4 even though he didn’t shoot well. Powell and McCollum combined for 50 points in 68 minutes in that game, but only 31 points in 100 minutes of the other game.
