Denver Nuggets v Portland Trail Blazers - Game 7

CJ McCollum had one of the best games of his career in game 7 of the Western Conference semis at the Denver Nuggets. McCollum finished the match with 37 points and 9 rebounds on an astonishing 17-29 shooting from the field.

McCollum put out a show in the later stages of the fourth quarter of this match. He made 4 consecutive two-point shots to tilt this heavily contested series in Portland's favour. The Blazers eventually won by a scoreline of 100-96 and reached the Western Conference finals.

McCollum was the sole impact-maker for the Blazers in this match. His superstar mate, Damian Lillard was totally out of sorts. The Nuggets got great performance from Nikola Jokic who finished with 29 points and 13 rebounds. This was a marathon of a series and McCollum game 7 performance proved to be the difference between the two sides.
