On Thursday night, Damian Lillard scored only 13 points on 5-21 shooting. It was the type of game that the Portland Trail Blazers would have lost not more than a month ago. The last time that Lillard scored under 15 points came on February 5th against the Miami Heat. The Blazers lost 108-118 and Lillard scored only 13 points on 5-15 shooting. Rodney Hood, who was acquired in a trade two days prior, was not available for that game.
One of the biggest weaknesses for the Blazers over the past couple of seasons has been the lack of offensive diversity.
