Kawhi Leonard & CJ McCollum help teams advance in Game 7 wins
In our Blazers vs. Nuggets 2K19 simulation, we had Denver claiming the Game 7 by a close margin. However, it was the other way around on Sunday as Portland claimed the 100-96 victory thanks to Mr. McCollum. He shot 17-for-29 from the field on a day when All-Star Damian Lillard was shooting poorly. CJ finished with 37 points, nine rebounds, and then one each for steals, blocks, and assists.
The second game was amongst the most thrilling of the NBA Playoffs. It came right down to the wire with the score deadlocked at 90-90 in Toronto. After a timeout, the ball went to the Raptors’ Kawhi Leonard who shot it from the side corner near the bench. His shot would bounce on the rim four times before falling through the net to give his team a 92-90 win in Game 7. That capped off an impressive stat line of 41 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and three blocks.
Unsurprisingly, Kawhi and CJ each earned Galaxy Opal NBA 2K19 Playoff Moments cards for their efforts. On CJ’s card he’s got some great attributes including 98 for layups, 99 contested shot mid-range, and 98 for shot close. He’s also got a total of 17 Hall of Fame badges for that card!
