McCollum keeps promise to infamous Jennifer as Blazers snap playoff skid
This one's for you, Jennifer.
The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 104-99 in Game 1 of their best-of-seven series Sunday to snap a 10-game playoff losing skid dating back to the 2016 conference semifinals.
Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum unintentionally created one of the more hilarious sports memes of 2018 when he tweeted, "I'm trying, Jennifer" to Twiter user Jennifer Williams after she trolled him for Portland getting swept in the first round in two consecutive years.

With Portland emerging victorious at the Moda Center, it appears a large number of people were quick to remind Williams of the now infamous interaction.
