Lillard made up for a mediocre shooting night with a perfect tally from the
charity stripe, which helped propel him over the 20-point mark for the sixth
time in the last seven games. The 12 free-throw opportunities were actually the
most Lillard had seen since way back on Dec. 20, while his 28.6 percent success
rate from the field was his worst effort in that category since the All-Star
break. Despite the struggles Thursday, Lillard is averaging 24.5 points, 7.0
assists and 4.0 rebounds across 37.8 minutes in his first four games of March.
