The Portland Trail Blazers will be facing the Golden State Warriors for the third time in the last four years of the NBA Playoffs, thanks to a clutch performance by one CJ McCollum in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Denver Nuggets. Damian Lillard, who led the charge in the first round against Oklahoma City, struggled for much of the series against Denver, including a 3-17 shooting performance in the finale—but his backcourt mate was there to carry the scoring load when the team needed it most.
