CJ McCollum just put together one of the five best games of his NBA career. Maybe top three! Maybe top two! McCollum hit 10 out of 13 3-point attempts in the Wizards' blowout win against the Hawks on Tuesday, finishing with 46 points, which is somehow his third game of at least 45 points in the calendar year.
McCollum has been good for the Wizards this year, averaging a little over 18 points per game and shooting well over 40 percent from deep. That's all good! The Wizards, meanwhile, are 2-15 after Tuesday's win. That is less good.
