CJ McCollum scored 37 points, including a fadeaway jumper with 11.4 seconds left, and the Portland Trail Blazers rallied to beat the host Denver Nuggets 100-96 in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals on Sunday.
“This is arguably the biggest win we’ve had in the franchise in a long time,” Portland coach Terry Stotts said. “To be a part of it and the way we did, I’m thrilled for our guys tonight. “I hope after 14 playoff games, America, everyone around the world come to appreciate his game,” Malone said. “For him to be as emotional and upset as he was speaks to his caring. He was upset because he thinks he didn’t do enough for us to win tonight.”
Blazers swingman Rodney Hood, who scored 25 in Game 6, left in the third quarter with a left knee hyperextension and did not return. He had just six points. Paul Millsap hit two free throws with 3:47 left to cut it to four and Denver had a chance to get it to two, but Lillard stole an outlet pass and drained a 3-pointer to make it 92-85 with 3:09 left.
