Jared McCain ends streak of at least 20 points

Jared McCain's streak of seven straight games with at least 20 points ended on Sunday. Before the 125-99 loss to the LA Clippers, the last time he failed to reach that mark was on Nov. 8 against the LA Lakers. He tallied 18 points on 6-for-17 shooting, including 4-for-9 from deep.
