Sunday was a banner night for Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard, who scored a career-high 71 points against the Houston Rockets. That benchmark has only been reached eight times in NBA history and represents a franchise-high for Portland.

When a game is happening, I’m playing the game. I’m going to take them out, so when it’s happening in a game I usually embrace it.
