Damian Lillard Starts Off Red-Hot, Has Double-Double
4 years agoPortland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard had 11 points in the opening quarter and finished Sunday's win over Boston with a 26-point, 13-assist double-double. He shot 8-for-18 from the field and 7-for-7 at the foul line with a 3-for-9 effort from downtown. Lillard grabbed six rebounds in 39 minutes of action and picked up one steal and one block with five turnovers. The Blazers are on a superb run right now with four straight victories, scoring at least 128 points in each game. They should have another high-scoring affair on Monday against Atlanta. The Hawks are ranked 23rd in defense versus opposing point guards, and they gave up 36 points to Lillard in this season's first matchup.
