All-Star point guard Damian Lillard has been on an absolute tear lately, setting the Trail Blazers franchise record with a 31.4 scoring average in the month of February. Over the last six games, he has averaged 37.2.

‘@Dame_Lillard after setting franchise mark with 31.4 scoring avg. in Feb: “I want to be the best Trail Blazer ever. I can’t say things like that without leading the team to a successful season, winning games, and having a huge impact on that happening. That goes along with it.”
