Damian Lillard picked the perfect time to have one of his best games of his career.
On Tuesday night, Lillard dropped a playoff career-high 50 points—including a buzzer-beating game-winner from about 40 feet—to defeat the Thunder, 118-115. The win gave the Blazers a 4-1 series win against OKC.
After Lillard’s clutch bucket to the clinch the series, NBA and WNBA players took to social media to sound off on Dame’s epic performance.
