Damian Lillard continues to dominate in Orlando. After being named the MVP of the NBA bubble on Saturday, Lillard put on a show against the Lakers on Tuesday night.
Lillard had 34 points, including 6-13 from downtown and 10/10 from the free-throw line, five rebounds, and five assists, as the eighth-seeded Blazers defeated the number one seed, the Lakers, 100-93 to take 1-0 lead in their best of seven first-round series.
Dame was incredible, and after the game, Twitter reacted.
Here’s a sampling:
Damn @Dame_Lillard. This brother just pulled up from the parking lot. Damn!!!

After a long strange drought, Damian Lillard finally snapped out of it in a 4th q and made bombs with 7:37 left then 5:46 (to tie) then 3:13 (to tie). Didn’t bring it all the way home the way Jamal Murray did a day ago. But way better than 0 baskets in his last 20 mins of 4th qs
