Damian Lillard Is the Best Story of the NBA Playoffs

There will be other huge moments along the way, but no matter what happens from here, I'm not sure anything in this year’s NBA playoffs will top what Damian Lillard did in Portland Tuesday night. With Russell Westbrook and the Thunder on the brink of elimination, Lillard finished them off with 50 points, 10 threes, and a 37-foot game-winning three at the buzzer that guarantees that game will never be forgotten by anyone who watched it happen live. It was the type of late night playoff game that makes it impossible to go to bed until at least an hour after the buzzer.
