McCollum scores 50 in 3 quarters, Blazers beat Bulls 124-108
PORTLAND, Ore. -- CJ McCollum had inspiration for his 50-point game: His 92-year-old great aunt was visiting Portland for the first time.
McCollum scored a franchise-record 28 points in the first quarter before finishing with a career-high 50 through three, and the Portland Trail Blazers took advantage of the short-handed Chicago Bulls for a 124-108 victory Wednesday night.
McCollum's 28 points in the opening quarter were the most by an NBA player this season. His final tally was nine points shy of the team record set by Damian Lillard last season.
