Damian Lillard's Dame Time moment never gets old, and Portland Trail Blazers fans are certainly happy to see that once again on Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors.
With roughly 15 seconds remaining and the Warriors ahead 106-105, Lillard stepped up and delivered the clutch triple from the left wing to give the Blazers the lead and the 108-106 victory.

Was there even a question on how this last play would go for Dame and the Blazers? Damian Lillard has been automatic from these types of situations and Portland knew that they just had to get out of the way.
Lillard was just 2-of-9 from deep before his game-winner, but we all know numbers don't matter to Dame when the game is on the line. With his game-winning trey, Lillard finished with a team-high of 22 points while Carmelo Anthony also poured in 22 off the bench.
Oakland's own just spoiled a 35-point evening from Curry, who led the way for the Warriors. It was a neck-and-neck battle between these two surging Western Conference squads as they both try to cement their respective spots in the West playoff picture.
With the win, the Blazers continue to inch their way to a top-four spot with one more game before heading to the All-Star break. The Warriors, however, drop to the ninth spot with back-to-back losses.
