In the decisive moments in the match, Damian Lillard proved again why he’s called clutch. Dame scored the go-ahead basket to give Portland the lead. The guard finished the night with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists.


Throughout the season in crunch time, Lillard has shot 61.4% from the field, 60.0% from three, and 100% from the free-throw line.
It’s no wonder why the last few minutes of a game are called “Dame Time” by Trail Blazers fans.

Lillard goes to a different level when it’s Dame Time this season.

For Steph Curry, this is yet another disappointing loss. The Warriors guard scored 35 points, got 7 rebounds and 5 assists, despite the defeat. Curry has been having an MVP-caliber season, however, the Warriors are still losing games frequently. The team from the Bay is currently sitting at 9th place in the West.
