GAME RECAP
Impact player
CJ McCollum, Portland
Well, it wasn’t the career-high 43 points he scored at Target Center on New Year’s Day night, but his 32 points and four three-pointers made in 29 minutes were plenty.
By the Numbers
62.5 Blazers shooting percentage, highest by a Wolves’ opponent this season.
13 Ricky Rubio’s double-digit scoring games in his past 15 games. He is averaging 15.4 points on 45.9 percent shooting and 10.6 assists in those 15 games. Rubio had 16 points and four assists Saturday.
17 Wolves rookie Kris Dunn’s points, a career high on 8-for-13 shooting.
