The Trail Blazers exited the NBA Playoffs following a 131-122 loss to the Lakers in Game 5. Without Damian Lillard and several others, CJ McCollum led the way for Portland with 36 points, coming up five points shy of his postseason career-high. For the Lakers, it was more of the same: feed their two super stars. LeBron James and Anthony Davis applied the pressure in a dominant second half for Los Angles. In the end, LeBron and Davis combined for eight three-pointers and 79 points.
Here is a look back at the Blazers’ final outing of the up-and-down 2019-20 season.
