It was harder than it should have been, but the Portland Trail Blazers kept their postseason dreams alive with a 125-115 victory over a very shorthanded and questionably motivated Denver Nuggets.
On a multi-record setting night, Damian Lillard delivered his best performance in the bubble yet, torching the Nuggets for 45 points, including tying his own personal and franchise record 11 threes, to go along with 4 rebounds and 12 assists.
Lillard also broke his own personal and franchise record for threes in a season while helping the team set a new franchise mark of 23 threes in a game.
