Portland guards Damian Lillard, the former Weber State star, and CJ McCollum form one of the best backcourts in the league. The explosive duo scores in bunches and can light a team up from the perimeter or in the lane.
The Jazz haven’t seen this type of scoring power yet in an opposing backcourt. They’ve faced Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder, but Oklahoma City’s shooting guard that night was the scoring-challenged Andre Roberson, even if Paul George and Carmelo Anthony were on the wings.
“It’s next to impossible to stop them,” Jazz coach Quin Snyder said.
