McCollum and Lillard drove through and around the Jazz defense, which was ranked at the top of the league during their streak. The Jazz finally got within single digits at 90-81 but McCollum scored on three consecutive isolation plays, all contested jumpers. Lillard cooled off from his previous three games, when he shot 42 for 76 and scored more than 44 points a game.
