Damian Lillard

You know what time it is when that clock ticks down in the postseason. Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard pushes the rock up the court in the final seconds of an already mesmerizing overtime performance, moves to take his defender off the dribble, then spins back out to the three-point line to force a second extra frame. Lillard put his fingerprints all over the history books in Game 5 of his squad’s Round 1 battle with the Denver Nuggets, finishing with a practically mythical 55 points, 10 dimes and a record-setting 12 three-pointers in the June 1, 2021 contest.
