The Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns put on a huge show in the Moda Center on Tuesday night, with Damian Lillard pouring in points and Chris Paul dishing assists in classic fashion. Portland showed a little of everything: distance shooting, inside scoring, even defense. They pushed the Suns into overtime despite a stellar night from Paul and Deandre Ayton. Unfortunately, they couldn’t connect on enough shots to take the game and fell 111-107.
Lillard registered 31 points and 10 assists in 47 minutes. He was brilliant early, but ended up just 11-31 from the field.
