PORTLAND -- While scoring 60 points for the fourth time in his career during Wednesday's 134-124 win over the Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard made history for his efficiency.
Lillard needed just 29 shot attempts and 10 free throw attempts to score 60, putting him in elite company. Just two other players (Karl Malone with 26 in 1990, and James Harden with 24 in 2019) have reached 60 points on fewer shot attempts, but both scored a high percentage of their points at the foul line, taking 23 free throws apiece.
