PORTLAND -- Damian Lillard doesn’t mind the double teams. Or the triple teams. Or the traps. Or being picked up full court. When he was younger, the level of attention he draws from opposing defenses on a nightly basis might have annoyed him, but at this point in his career, it actually has the opposite effect.
Despite being the focal point of Golden State’s defensive game plan for nearly 48 minutes, Lillard still managed to hit yet another deep, game-winning three-pointer, and then took a charge with four seconds to play, to lift the Trail Blazers to a 108-106 victory versus the Warriors Wednesday night at the Moda Center.
