PORTLAND -- The Portland Trail Blazers had no right beating the New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night after trailing by 17 points with just under six minutes to play in regulation.
But they did have Damian Lillard.
The 6-3 point guard in his ninth season out of Weber State scored 20 of his season-high 50 points in the fourth quarter to lead Portland to an improbable 125-124 victory versus the New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night at the Moda Center.
The Trail Blazers are now 23-16 overall, 12-7 at home, 2-2 since the All-Star break and 2-0 versus the Pelicans this season.
