McCollum supplied 22 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and a steal over 42 minutes in Saturday’s 120-108 Game 3 semifinal round victory over the Warriors.

While he played second fiddle to backcourt mate Damian Lillard’s 40-point outburst, McCollum turned in a second straight solid performance of his own. He matched his Game 2 point total, while supplying some nominal contributions across other areas of the stat sheet. Just as was the case in the quarterfinal round versus the Clippers, the third-year guard has bounced back nicely from a lackluster Game 1 to eclipse the 20-point mark in subsequent games.
