Lillard’s 50-point effort was the second-highest scoring performance of his career, and tied a franchise record for most points in a single game.

He was electric from start to finish, shooting 18-for-35 from the field, including 8-for-20 from 3-point range.

Unfortunately, the rest of the Blazers didn’t play nearly as well as Lillard.

CJ McCollum had a relatively quiet night, scoring 15 points on 7-for-20 shooting, and the team shot just 41.4 percent from the field.
