Damian Lillard robbed of game-tying shot in loss to Jazz

Damian Lillard did everything he could to lead the Portland Trial Blazers to a win on Friday night in Salt Lake City.

The Trail Blazers star dropped 42 points on a night where they were battered by injuries, and was in perfect position to send the game into overtime in the final seconds.

Yet, officials let what should have been a goaltending call go, which led the Utah Jazz to a much-needed 117-114 win at Vivint Smart Home Arena.

Lillard, holding the ball down two points with just seconds to go, drove to the hoop and put up a layup — which was on track to fall and likely send the game into an extra period.
