2.) Lillard Shoots OKC Out of the Building

This is one of the performances that Lillard will be known for when he retires. This isn’t just one three like the others on this list have been, this is a picnic basket filled to the brim of three-pointers.

And even more, they come with his team trailing in the waning minutes of the game.

I don’t know if any casual fan could make 5-of-6 threes with no one around, yet alone in do-or-die crunch time with their team trailing. Good thing for Blazer fans, it was Lillard shooting these shots.

He does it all: pull-up off a screen; set and shoot from deep; stepback from Steven Adams; shake Russell Westbrook off the ball before shooting; and his patented chop-the-feet-in-and-out pull-up.

A determined Dame is something to watch.
