Damian Lillard accounted for 34 points, six rebounds and five assists for Portland while teammate Jusuf Norkic had 24 and 16 boards.

McCollum, who left the contest at the 7:03 mark of the third quarter with a left leg injury. "He's so big for our team. That's a big blow. He's a guy that plays a huge role for us and is a big part of our team," Lillard told The Associated Press.
