CJ McCollum, who scored 28 points, looked like he could take the Blazers to the lead, but in vain. The Lakers went forward in a flash and clinched a 14-point lead towards the end of the match. The series is 2-1 with Lakers on the upper hand.
After a tremendous Game 1, Blazers didn’t seem promising, followed by an unfortunate injury of their best player. Is it a downfall for them from here on, or are they looking for a comeback in Game 4?
