Damian Lillard: 'There Was a Lot of Contact' On Final 3-Point Try

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard said there was a "lot of contact" during the final sequence of the Western Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors.

Down by three with less than 10 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Lillard was guarded by Warriors forward Andre Iguodala and as he went up for a jumpshot, he was stripped of the ball.

Golden State ran out the clock, winning the game 114–111 to go up two games to none in the best of seven series. Game 3 is Saturday in Portland.

"I know it's a tough position for the referees to be in to make a call at that point in the game," said Lillard.
