Damian Lillard just painted the Mona Lisa of playoff performances. The Portland Trail Blazers star may not have scored the most points in a postseason game, but he made all the right strokes in the right places to make it one for the history books.

Lillard poured in 55 points on a downright absurd 24 shots, making 17 of them with 12 three-pointers. But it was the shots that came when his team looked down and out that made his production a playoff masterpiece.

In the game's final 10 minutes and 3.7 seconds, meaning the two overtimes and the last 3.7 seconds of regulation, the Blazers All-Star outscored every other teammate's point production for the entire game. Damian Lillard scored 20 points in that span, with nobody from Portland even cracking the 20-point mark. This was Dame Time – personified.

But just like any frustrated artist, Damian Lillard wasn't happy with the end result. No matter how epic his in-game performance was, they still lost the game.

“It don't matter. We lost the game. At this point all that matters is we can't lose another game in the series,” the Blazers star told ESPN's Royce Young.

CJ McCollum took responsibility for the loss, claiming he and the rest of the supporting cast failed to support Lillard's epic night. McCollum was an ugly 7-for-22 from the field, finishing with 18 points in over 50 minutes played.

“The degree of difficulty on which he hit some of those shots is god-like. To be able to create space and shoot from so far out contested time after time. It's a shame we wasted one of the all-time performances by not being more supportive for him.”

Damian Lillard and his Blazers have one life left in this series. Game 6 is on Thursday.
