Not even the buzzer could put an end to Dame Time at the United Center.
Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard went off for 44 points against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, finishing with one of the season’s wildest buzzer-beaters.
With only 6.2 seconds remaining and the Blazers down 122-120, a jump ball made its way into Lillard’s hands after an awkward series of exchanges. Lillard took the ball, ran a few steps to his right and uncorked an off-balance step-back 3-pointer over Bulls 7-footer Lauri Markkanen.
It was the kind of shot only a few players on the planet have a prayer of making.
