McCollum’s 41 Points Leads Blazers Past Nuggets in Quadruple-Overtime Thriller

The Trail Blazers outlasted the Nuggets to secure an unforgettable quadruple-overtime victory on Friday. The two Northwest Division rivals exchanged haymakers throughout the first four quarters and treated the Moda Center crowd to four encore presentations of neck-and-neck competition before Portland eventually pulled away. For the second game in a row, it wasn’t Damian Lillard that carried the Blazers past the finish line. The former Weber State standout played a crucial role, but it was CJ McCollum’s masterful work that coupled with Rodney Hood’s late-game heroics that pushed Portland to a 2-1 series lead.
