With this massive poster, Dame has reminded the fans that he is capable of plays like this as well. Lillard was one of the instrumental players for the Trail Blazers last night. But he wasn’t able to secure the victory for his team in the end. He finished the game scoring 30 points, along with grabbing 4 rebounds and dishing out 5 assists.
The superb performance of the six-time All-Star got overshadowed by the Magic’s rookie, Franz Wagner’s performance. The German prodigy turned the game for the Magic as he scored 29 points, along with 2 assists and 2 rebounds.
