Recap: Lillard Scores Career-High 61, Blazers Beat Warriors 129-124 in OT

This one will stick around for a while.

It may not be your number one future go-to Blazer memory, but I bet you’ll remember that time Damian Lillard put a bunch of bench warmers on his back to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against another bunch of bench warmers.

With his team in desperate need, Lillard had one for the ages, scoring a career-high 61 points and willing the Blazers over the Golden State Warriors 129-124 in overtime.

On a night where the TNT broadcast couldn’t let you forget just how hopeless and injury-depleted both teams were, Dame put on an electrifying one man show that for at least a moment might let you forget about the circumstances around which it occurred.
