Crazy Damian Lillard. The Portland leader delights the Moda Center with an absolutely stellar performance, scores 71 points and sets a new record for the Oregon franchise. Lillard signs something like 13 triples (one less than the NBA record set by Klay Thompson in 2018) and leads the Blazers (29-31) to a comfortable success over the unfortunate Rockets (13-47).
