Tuesday, Dec 5 – Washington Wizards vs. Portland Trail Blazers

TV: NBATV, 10:00 (ET)

It was back on November 25th that the Wizards and Blazers gave NBA fans one of the best finishes this season. The Blazers outscored the Wizards 35-22 in the 4th quarter including scoring the games last 10 points.

C.J. McCollum’s jumper with 21 seconds remaining gave the Blazers a 106-105 lead. After a defensive stop Pat Connaughton made two free throws to seal the victory. Even though the Wizards won’t have John Wall (who also missed that game), this game should still be another good one with the possibility of some Lillard and McCollum magic at the end.
