Trail Blazers hold off Cavaliers' rally The Canadian Press CJ McCollum , The Canadian Press CLEVELAND — CJ McCollum scored 35 points and the Portland Trail Blazers hung on after nearly squandering a 23-point halftime lead to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 123-110 on Monday night. The Blazers needed a 14-0 run late in the fourth quarter to finally put away a game that looked like a rout in the first half.
Cleveland rallied in the third quarter, and Matthew Dellavedova's 3-pointer with a second left cut the lead to 88-84. Cleveland appeared to tie the game early in the fourth, but Larry Nance Jr.'s 3-pointer was waved off after the Blazers were charged with a common foul on a screen set by Dellavedova. Seth Curry hit all five 3-point attempts and finished with 15 points for Portland, which is in fourth place in the Western Conference.
