CJ McCollum, 34, played a key role in the Washington Wizards' offense on Friday night, scoring 25 points in their 148-114 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He shot 8 of 16 from the field, 6 of 13 from three-point range, and made 3 of 4 free throws.
Along with his scoring, McCollum contributed three assists, one steal, and two rebounds during the game.
Despite McCollum's strong performance, the Wizards have struggled as a team early in the season, with the offense failing to consistently produce.
Recently, McCollum has faced challenges maintaining offensive consistency, having scored fewer than 20 points in four of the last five games before Friday.
