'Dame Time' Goes Defensive In Game Two

Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard turned in a textbook "Dame Time" performance over the course of the second and third quarters in Portland's 114-94 victory versus the Thunder in Game Two at the Moda Center Tuesday night. Between the "Logo Lillard" three-pointers, a four-point play, slashing, reverse finishes at the rim and a buzzer-beating triple, the 6-3 point guard out of Weber State went 7-of-12 from the field, 4-of-5 from three and 5-of-6 from the line to score 23 of his 29 points in 19 minutes and 17 seconds.

And in the process, he helped turn what was a nine-point deficit when he entered the game midway through the second quarter into a 16-point lead by the end of the third.
