    Man. How many points would CJ have scored tonight if we needed him to, or if we just tried to make this game all about getting him a career high? He was on FIRE.

    CJ McCollum's 32 points (11-13 FG) are the 3rd-most by any NBA player this season on 13 FG attempts or fewer (34, K. Durant/G. Hill).

    A Blazer win and a Denver loss tomorrow would set us up for a true tiebreaker on the 28th.

    So how was the Nurk/KAT duel? Anticlimactic?

    Portland's 10-3 record in March is third-best in the NBA (Milwaukee/San Antonio, 11-3).

    The Trail Blazers have won 20 of the past 22 meetings with the Timberwolves at the Moda Center.

    Portland has held its opponents to 100 points or fewer in four of the past five games (97.8 ppg, 42.9% FG).

    Also I thought we did a good job of making him work. When his guards couldn't get the ball to him easily, they gave up.

    Well considering they rarely actually defended each other... I do remember Nurk on KAT once and he either blocked it or made him take a really tough shot that he missed.
