Damian Lillard Scores 33 Points In Losing Effort
7 years agoPortland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (ankle) returned to action with a really solid performance after missing one game, scoring 33 points against the Spurs on Saturday. He shot 11-for-22 from the floor, finishing with six triples. However, he disappointed with seven turnovers and just five assists. Lillard has been scoring well this month, averaging close to 30 points per night, but the team is on a three-game losing streak, so Dame clearly has to do better in distributing the ball. He'll have a favorable matchup in that regard next, as the Nuggets have allowed point guards record 9.3 assists per 48 minutes this season, which is the third-highest mark in the league.
