On this date in Blazers history: Lillard makes ‘The Shot,’ etches ‘0.9’ into Rip City lore

Friday, May 2, 2014, was a warmer-than-average day in Portland, with temperatures topping out at a near-balmy 76 degrees, about 10 degrees above the norm, according to Weather Underground.

But it’s a few other numbers from May 2, 2014, that really stand out for Blazers fans:

Like 0.9, for example.

And 20,204.

That second number is how many people were officially on hand at the Moda Center on May 2, 2014, to witness “The Shot.”

And that first number … ? Well, you know what it signifies.

Rockets-Blazers

The Portland Trail Blazers and the Houston Rockets finished the 2013-2014 regular season with identical 54-28 records.
