Damian Lillard acknowledged that he and CJ McCollum have to improve at facilitating for their teammates.

Lillard credited McCollum for giving the Portland Trail Blazers energy down the stretch during their win on Monday over the Pelicans.

"I think for me and him, that's something that we got to do a lot of this year, make guys better and put guys in a position to be successful," Lillard said.

"We have to be a team that isn't fun to play against," Lillard said. "We have to take pride in that."
