March 1 (The Sports Xchange) - Watching Damian Lillard get 20 or 30 points has become routine for the Portland Trail Blazers.
So has winning.
Lillard scored 30 points and the surging Trail Blazers continued rolling with a 104-85 victory over the New York Knicks Tuesday night.
"It seems natural," Portland coach Terry Stotts said. "I don't think anybody is surprised."
Lillard posted his 19th game with 30 points and only Golden State's Stephen Curry, Houston's James Harden and Sacramento's DeMarcus Cousins have more games with at least 30 this season. He also reached 30 points for the eighth time in his last nine games by hitting eight of 18 shots and making 10 free throws, extending his streak to 48.
