Confirmed: Dame D.O.L.L.A. rescues Trail Blazers vs Lakers
PORTLAND -- Damian Lillard handed the Los Angeles Lakers a heartbreaking loss that only gets more painful with the loss of starting power forward Larry Nance Jr.
Lillard buried a clutch stepback 3-pointer over Brandon Ingram with seven-tenths of a second left to give the Portland Trail Blazers a 113-110 win over the Lakers. And, as if the Lakers' 13th straight loss to Portland wasn't bad enough, the Lakers lost Nance Jr. to a broken left thumb. The power forward left the game in the third quarter and X-rays revealed the fractured first metacarpal in his left hand.
The Lakers will face the Brooklyn Nets in D'Angelo Russell's return on Friday with a new starting power forward in the lineup.
