Damian Lillard was absolutely unconscious tonight, erupting for 55 points, 10 assists, six rebounds and three blocks on 17-24 field goal shooting and 12-17 from long range in a double-overtime thriller against the Denver Nuggets.
Dame wasn’t able to secure the Game 5 win for his Portland Trail Blazers, but he repeatedly kept his team alive when they looked like they were toast, and his explosive performance captured the imagination of NBA players around the league.
Here’s how they reacted:
