Damian Lillard: Drops 34 in Sunday’s loss

Lillard put on a scoring display from the field while chipping in some nice
defensive statistics Sunday, though it wasn’t enough to steal a victory from the
top-seeded Warriors. He also converted all seven of his free-throw attempts,
where he’s an impressive 89.5 percent on the season. While his three assists
certainly leave something to be desired, the Trail Blazers hit a subpar 43.0
percent of their shots, failing to convert a fair amount of his passes into
assists. Other than Lillard’s backcourt mate C.J. McCollum, who dropped 41
points, the rest of the Trail Blazers scored just 34 points. Lillard will look
to keep up his scoring while getting more help from his teammates when the
Blazers play their second game against the Warriors on Wednesday.
