PORTLAND, Ore. -- Stephen Curry didn't play, missing his fourth consecutive game with a sprained MCL. But there was still an All-Star point guard in the Moda Center on Saturday night.
No, Portland Trail Blazers counterpart Damian Lillard wasn't in Toronto with Curry for this year's All-Star Game because of a Western Conference roster crunch, but the two-time All-Star played at that level during Game 3. Lillard led the way with the highest-scoring game of his playoff career as the Blazers knocked off the Curry-less Golden State Warriors 120-108, pulling within 2-1 in their best-of-seven series.
