5 years agoPortland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard enjoyed a 34-point outing on Thursday, but it wasn't enough to lead to team to victory against Utah. Shooting 10-for-21 from the field and 7-for-13 from downtown, Lillard did a lot of good stuff offensively, but he ended up with a minus-26 rating for the game. He finished his line off with eight assists and four rebounds. Lillard now has three 30-point outings in the past five games ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Lakers, who haven't done too well against points guards this season. Lillard managed 29 points against the Lakers in the first meeting of the season on Dec. 6.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
