NBA Twitter sounds off for Damian Lillard's historic night

The Houston Rockets didn't have an answer for Damian Lillard in the Portland Trail Blazers' 131-114 win.

Lillard set franchise and career highs with 71 points and 13 3-pointers.

As evidenced by LeBron James' tweet, it was simply Dame Time on Sunday night.
