RecapCJ McCollum recorded a double-double on Monday with 13 points (4-of-17 FGs), nine rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers against the Pacers.
McCollum’s shot wasn’t falling in this game, but he was able to initiate offense as a playmaker, which led to a new season high for assists. He came close to recording a triple-double, but McCollum was still able to have a fantastic outing, despite the rough shooting night. With Jalen Johnson (ankle) out, McCollum stepped up as a playmaker, though that trend likely won’t continue when Johnson and Kingston Flemings, who was serving a one-game suspension, return to the rotation.
