Lillard finished with a career playoff high 50 points, a franchise record 10 three-pointers, seven rebounds, and six assists to lead Portland to their first series win since 2016.

There was no stopping Dame Time from avenging their embarrassing playoff exit last season, where they got swept in the first round by the New Orleans Pelicans.

Lillard was firing from all cylinders and basically carried Portland in this game, with his backcourt-mate C.J. McCollum struggling with foul trouble early. The former Weber State standout started out on fire and scored 34 points in the first half alone.

Portland seemed poised blow out the Thunder at home when it surged ahead by nine points after Lillard made a three-pointer with 3:29 remaining in the third quarter.

However, Oklahoma City stormed back and countered with a massive run to turn the game completely around. The Blazers evetually found themselves from up nine points late in the third to down 15 points midway the fourth quarter.

But Lillard and co. dug deep and made their own run to eventually tie the game with under a minute left. Paul George and Lillard then traded buckets down the stretch, before Russell Westbrook missed a potential go-ahead layup with 18 seconds remaining.

This set up the final play for Lillard to finish off his masterful, historic performance with one of the most insane and disresepectful game-winners in NBA history.
