The Portland Trail Blazers snapped their three-game losing streak with a 115-112 victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. Damian Lillard proved to be the difference for Portland in the win, and his heroic performance down the stretch earned the praise of Nik Stauskas.
After the game, The Athletic’s Jason Quick spoke with Stauskas about Lillard’s record-breaking night.
“That’s what first team All-NBA guys do — they bring it on the nights when their team needs them the most. That’s why I feel like he is in the race for MVP this year, because we need him.
