Damian Lillard Stays Red-Hot With 40 Points
2 years agoPortland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard continued his red-hot scoring streak with a 40-point effort in Sunday's 140-123 win over Dallas. He shot 10-for-17 from the field, including 4-for-9 from downtown, and was 16-for-16 with his free throws, reaching a fifth consecutive 30-point outing. Lillard has been especially hot over the last three games, averaging 42.0 points a night. His work on Sunday also included three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 37 minutes. Lillard's current scoring run seems unsustainable, but he will be in a perfect spot for a big scoring performance again on Tuesday against the Nuggets, who own the worst defensive record in the league against point guards.
