Damian Lillard Scores Season-High 39 Points
4 years agoPortland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard was red-hot in Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Lillard shot 13 of 21 from the field, including seven of 12 from three, and dropped a season-high 39 points. He also added seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals and had only one turnover. Lillard's numbers so far this year are slightly down from his career year last year. He's averaging 27.6 points and 6.6 assists per game this year, compared with 30.0 points and 8.0 assists per game last year. Maybe Thursday's strong performance will help propel him to the next level going forward. He'll look to stay hot when the Trail Blazers head to Sacramento to take on the Kings on Saturday.
