Damian Lillard Game-Winner Boosts Blazers over Lakers

Damian Lillard hit a three-pointer with 0.7 seconds on the game clock, propelling the Portland Trail Blazers to a 113-110 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. The Lakers put up a valiant fight, overcoming a Larry Nance Jr. injury and their own lack of three-point shooting to push the game to the final second. An utter lack of defense typified the contest for both sides, but Portland’s “Big 3” of Lillard, CJ McCollum, and Jusuf Nurkic trumped the unlikely duo of Kyle Kuzma and Brook Lopez, setting up Lillard’s triumphant game-winner.
