Hot against Wolves, Damian Lillard closes in on Clyde Drexler

Accustomed to taking cards against him, the Wolves tried everything to limit Damian Lillard. They sometimes challenged the shots of the leader of Portland, but the latter was in too good shape to be embarrassed. Result, after only 29 minutes on the floor, he joined the bench for good, in a meeting easily won by the Blazers

Without playing the last quarter, Lillard finished with 38 points on the clock, 13/21 in shooting including a superb 11/17 at 3-pts, which allowed him to equal his franchise record.

“It’s one of those moments when you see the ball go in, you have to let things take their course. That’s what I did “, he explains for the official franchise website. “As soon as I had a shooting window, I shot. No matter the distance. »

Didn’t Chauncey Billups think of raising “Lady” in the last quarter, as the latter was only one basket away from the franchise’s record for successful award-winning shots?

“If he had been within five points of his career high, maybe… Lillard will live other matches like that, it will be for another day. He was boiling, it was pleasant to see. But rest is always necessary too,” replies the coach. “I know I was not far from it, but 20 or 22 points ahead, I also know that I was not going to come back”adds the player.

Another record is approaching for the All-Star: that of the number of points scored under the colors of Portland. Lillard is only 107 points short of overtaking Clyde Drexler. So it’s only a matter of days for him to become the all-time leading scorer for the Blazers.

“Everyone knows it, I want to be the best”, confirms the current second best scorer in the franchise. “Points aren’t everything either, but when it comes to numbers, that’s the most important thing. And this is Drexler, and those who know NBA history respect him. Getting this record, having been in this franchise for so long, is huge for me. It will be a great moment for me, a great honor. »
